Scary Moment

I had a scary moment about 4 this morning,when I woke up with a sharp intermittent pain, like a stitch, in the upper front of the right side of chest. I couldn't find a position to lie in which was comfy. I got up and walked around for a bit, and it went away, and as far as I can tell all is back to normal (tumour aside) now.

It was scary because this is how my symptoms started, with a sudden intercostal pain, about 4 weeks ago.

As it's been such a short time - I was working 2 weeks ago and living normally, although coughing and moaning about being tired  - I don't know what symptoms are in the normal range, and which are alarming. And 4 in the morning is a bad time, anyway, for everyone: anxieties feed on the stillness and silence at that time.

Biopsy tomorrow - get to UCH by 9 am, working backwards through a 90 min journey and leaving some margin of error for missed trains delays and general commuting in London means leaving here just before 7. Aaargh!
