Hello
I doubt very very much you have cancer and I am sure your Doctor will confirm that so keep that appointment you have made and go and see them
There is a horrible cough going about at the moment that is leaving people with it for weeks and weeks could be as simple as that but when we have anxiety we always think the worse that is how anxiety controls us
Write down everything you want to tell the Doctor about the cough but also how your anxiety is affecting you that way you will not come away from the appointment missing something out you wanted to tell them as you can keep referring to the list
Also before you go have a think what you would like them to do to support you
They may suggest medication , is that the route you would like to take ? or there is Therapy like Counselling is that something you would be interested in ? and if they don't mention anything you feel would help you do not be afraid to ask them
