Any optometrists or opthamologists who can help. Optic nerve worry

Hi everyone.

I had a routine eye test in November 2025. The fundus photograph showed a potential blurred optic nerve. Optometrist completed an OCT scan and said she could see a tilted disc but would do a referral to the eye hospital. I have horrendous health anxiety due to a previous cancer diagnosis. I phoned the hospital and they said it had been marked as routine.

My appt is now this week with neuro opthamology (which is 7 months after referral was sent) I am worrying so much.

Does anybody have any words of reassurance? Thank you so much- I would appreciate any feedback xx
