Anxious lu

I have really had a handle on my health anxiety but I seem to have spiraled recently.
I found a hand lump in my foot so made an appointment at the doctors. After about an hour of telling myself I was okay I fell into the negative cancer space.
The nurse at the doctors said it was nothing to worry about as cancer is typically fixed and this moves but she sent me for an ultrasound.
2 weeks later at the ultrasound they said it was hard tissue and said it wasnt sinister and nothing to worry about. They said sometimes these things go away on their own and to call my doctor for the official report in a weeks time.
Just called the surgery and they want an appointment next week with the doctor to go over the results. She said it is routine but I was hoping they could tell me on the phone.
I feel sick, dizzy and hot with panic.
Trying to tell myself this is just routine and it is probably to go over what it is and options to get rid but I cant help but think face to face means BAD NEWS! Would they really make me wait another week for the appointment if it was??
