If it were me, I would go. If the results are good then its a reason to celcbrate. My thinking (which sometimes could be considered a little odd) if its bad news then you still would want to go and make the most of your time before any tz starts.
On June 15, 2007 I was told I had cancer. I was needless to say in shock. I went to work after my appointment but left to go home. On my 40 minute drive home I decided to start doing everything I wanted for as long as I possibly could. That evening I took my children out to our favorite restaurant. My determination was that cancer would not get me down and I would be 'fixed'.
Go and enjoy yourself.
