Hi and welcome.
Your Dr is being thorough. It’s good that he is.
Imagine if he told you he had seen something but sent you home telling you not to worry.
He’s doing the investigation to make sure his benign diagnosis is right.
Most referrals ( 90%) are not cancer.
You will worry so try not to look for answers on Google. Keep busy, enjoy Christmas and chase them up in the new year if an appointment hasn’t arrived.
