It appears that you have lost confidence in the current medical team, and in order to feel more at ease, it would be good to get another opinion. In order for you to have peace of mind, it might be helpful to be seen at Mass General in Boston. You can certainly keep the Sept. 2 appointment if you want more feedback from them.
Since you don't know for sure, what is causing your problems, I urge you not to take leaps into dying and thinking about your mom's unfortunate bout with brain cancer. I realize that it is not easy to put aside worrying if that comes naturally to you, however, worrying really does more harm than good.
As you wait for the upcoming appointment, what can you do to relax? Do you like to walk, see movies, read books, etc.? It really is important to keep yourself as free from stress and worry as possible.
Will you share with me something that you can do to help deal with worry and stress?

Hi,
yes i have lost confidence in my former medical team for a dozen of reasons. i am really looking forward to going to mass general. its just hard to wait and stay calm i was actually doing ok until i got my son worried. i never connected my moms condition to what i'm dealing with. it was my son's fear i know its two seperate issues. i guess i should be glad based on what i know its not cancerous at this point.and hopefully by november i know i will be in good hands. i was debating sept 2 but i think i will wait. i have more confidence in mass general. but yes i have had anxiety and health anxiety since my mom died. but i know i gotta think on the positives.
I will say things that relaxme are this may seem funny but certain shows, like the golden girls, i always watch them in the morning and at night in bed. they make me forget about myself, also impractical jokers, love them, im actually am going to see joe gatto live and a meet and greet next month. also when my husband takes me out or he always tries to take my mind off things. he said i'm going to be fine.
I just sent new GI office a message just to see if there are any cancellations, i know probobly not but doesnt hurt to keep checking in. i also asked if he had my biopsy slides. just want to know what he has in case i need to print out anything. thank you! see new pcp in boston next week too!
