I can only imagine how stressful upcoming doctor visits & tests must be for you. May I ask you if you suffer from Iatrophobia? Something I find helpful in general with anxiety/phobias are learning deep breathing techniques and self affirmations but of course they only help to a certain degree. Sometimes getting guided support is what helps best so that you can feel safe and be comfortable in life. I hope being here will give you the support you need. Here are some links which might be helpful

@decisiveChestnut846. I hear you. I find going to doctors visits stressful myself. It looks like some good ideas were given @amiablePeace77. I may try some deep breathing before my next doctors visit. I hope that you find something that helps.
