Appointment with oncologist, giving blood

Ok so I finally made the appointment after some compassionate chiding from various friends and kind offers to come with me or make the appointment on my behalf (thank you dear friends, you just keep on caring, I am so grateful).

Also, the dizzy spells, pounding heart, indigestion, chest pains and tiredness are back, so I'm feeling a bit scared about all of that.  I got an appointment much more quickly than I expected, they were ready to see me the next day but I took a meeting on Saturday as it fits in with my work.  I have to brave the lab tomorrow morning for a blood test which will measure all sorts of things (I looked it all up on the internet from the prescription), some of the things they will be looking for is cancer markers and markers for metastasis.  Great.  Feeling worried, actually.  What if they find something and I'm plunged back into that world?  Try to remain optimist Claire.
