To cancel appointment or not?

This is a ridiculous thing to ask advice for, but I'm agonising over whether or not to cancel the GP appointment I have booked for Fri. I've been feeling a bit under the weather for about four weeks - nothing terrible, just kind of constant sore throat, lymph nodes up, tired, aching arms and legs, feeling a bit sick... I had some blood tests done a couple of weeks back which were normal apart from a marginally low vit B12 (they said no action needed) and a few things borderline low on the FBC.

I am in two minds because I would like to be restored to full health, but I'm totally aware that it's probably a virus which the GP can do nothing about, or due to stress at work (which she can also do nothing about). I know how short of appointments they are, which makes me feel like I should cancel so as not to waste the GP's appointment and take a slot which someone else might need more.

DP says to keep the appointment, but I think he's just sick of me moaning ;)
