Laser treatment for retinopathy. Advice please.

I've reposted this in AIBU as I need help (might be panicking 😂 & general health is so quiet!)

I've name changed as some details (location mainly) maybe outing & I want to be able to be specific.
The eye clinic at my local hospital have said my retinopathy is significant (suddenly) & I need laser treatment to prevent it getting worse.. I only had the appointment yesterday & they phoned me today to say they can do it tomorrow.
I'm scared ! I don't know whether to go or cancel, or to see about going privately.
I'm happy to give more information, just trying not to re- write war & peace in my OP.

If you have been offered an appointment, why in earth are you thinking about going private?

Get it done

It will be fine, no difference from nhs or private, if they can do it tomorrow then its urgent, just get it done.
I'm diabetic and have had 1 round of laser done, since then they did injection which was newer treatment for my issue.
