Your doing well @Yellow_Daffodil. Keep breathing deeply. We all understand that anxiety and your human. It's normal to catastrophise initially and worry. However that worry and what ifs don't change anything.

It is great you got checked. Look after yourself and let us know how you are going. Best wishes
