alh - If I were your wife, I would be really upset with you for cancelling that appointment! Please, reschedule as soon as possible and get yourself to the doctor. Take someone with you so you don't change your mind mid-stream. It's better to know than to stress over the unknown. If it is cancer, then the sooner you do something about it the better off you are. You owe it to your wife and daughter and everyone who loves you to take care of your health. DO IT NOW!
