Welcome to OCF! I am so glad you have found this site. There are way too many places with incorrect medical info. Of course you are afraid, every single one of us was where you are and felt that fear at least once. Its the fear of the unknown. Do yourself a huge favor and take a deep breath and calm down! Being upset will NOT help you feel better at all, it will only make you feel worse. Try to stay off those other sites too, this is the very best place to go to for correct medical info. We many not be medical professionals but living thru a cancer battle has taught us things that arent in the medical textbooks.

The best way to keep yourself from worrying about the "what if's" is to keep yourself very busy. Do something that keeps your mind involved and things you need to concentrate on. Read a good book, every time you start to worry, pick it up and read. While having cancer isnt a walk in the park, it isnt the end of the world either. Hang in there and when you know what you are dealing with then get your priorities straight, make a plan and take care of it. Getting scoped is no big deal and either is having a biopsy, at least to me its just part of making sure everything is ok. Think of those things as tools that are necessary to figure out whats going on.

Good luck with your appointment!
