Good thoughts go with you as go to this appointment, @catherinemary. Here is a link to a discussion, "Keys to a Successful Doctor's Appointment" that might help you to navigate the first meeting with the oncologist.

Thank you so much for this link! You are so kind to think of me in this way. I’m so anxious that my legs feel like jelly and even my teeth are chattering. I have a long history of anxiety and panic disorder (16 first panic attack, 73 yr old this year); That was brought on by my worry about a medical I had to have for my employment. So the anxiety re this appt is through the roof. My darling sister is keeping me afloat as best she can - so unfair on her to carry me like she is. My husband went into care this year as he was having multiple falls, one which req ICU. I’m trying lots of self talk to try and break how I feel down to manageable bits. Thank you for reading this and also for your kind words. Cathy
