Scared of ct scan and nasal polyp

I was having some nasal congestion since a week, ent examined physically with scope said its nasal polyp. Asked me for ct scan. I know thats the next course of action but i am a hypochondriac and due to the health anxiety i keep overthinking that what if the ct scan will show something sinister like cancer and as a result i am continuously delaying it. I want to cry so badly for being such a coward. But the fear of cancer is too much for me. Please guide me doctors :(
