Should I go to the Dr's

Need your advice please. My sister died 20 years ago from ovarian cancer. I nursed her at the end so am fully aware of what a horrible disease it is. Before xmas I kept feeling some slight discomfort on the left side on my tummy. It is not unbearable pain and has not got any worse, maybe even a little better. In fact I am wondering if it is in my head. I have booked an appointment at my Dr's on Thursday and really worried about wasting her time. I never go to Drs it's just with my sister have ovarian cancer and knowing that it can run in families I am slightly concerned. Just feel really embarrassed about seeing the Dr about having a sort of pain which is not interfering with my life and which actually could be all in my mind.
I know I sound nuts but can you please rationlise all this for me.

It's best to get peace of mind, you are not wasting her time and I'm sure given youur family history she will be very understanding.
