Hi Bibcat and welcome to the online community
It's perfectly normal to be worried at the thought of having an appointment but it's concerning that you say you are "making yourself ill with worry" and I would recommend that you have a word with your GP so that they can help you.
As the online community is divided up into different support groups I hope you don't mind me recommending that you join the ovarian cancer group. This isn't because I think you have this type of cancer but because its' a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support from other women who have been on this part of the process.
To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'. To save you typing this all out again just copy and paste it into a new post.
If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help.
