Tldr at the bottom
So I have a condition, which is pretty rare. It doesn't affect my day-to-day life, but they said it could possibly be a symptom of a life threatening disease. I won't go into details.
First when I noticed, I went to a clinic, the doctor referred me to a specialist in a university hospital (the biggest hospital in the city). They did A LOT of blood tests, they saw some irregularities but couldn't figure it out. They did biopsies, and the results were not conclusive. In my last appointment, they took my blood, AGAIN, and they asked me to do a biospy, AGAIN. At that time, I agreed because I felt some pressure.
The appointment is tomorrow, but now I don't think I want to go. The thing is, what are the chances they'll figure it out this time. I've had several appointments already. I've paid a significant amount of money, but I just get more and more anxious each appointment. I just don't wanna do biopsies again, I feel like a specimen.
And because it's a rare condition, and it's a university hospital, they even asked me to put the data they in conferences. And of course, I agreed because I didn't know how to say no. So I feel like I don't see the point of continuing with the tests. And I think I want to leave Japan in the next few months. So maybe I'll do some tests in that country instead, if that.
So my question is, can I just call them over the phone tomorrow to say that I don't wanna do anymore tests? What are the etiquettes? And what are the consequences? And also are the results of my tests he in Japan transferable to a hospital in other countries?
I never went to a hospital before coming to Japan, so I really don't know how things work. Anyways, sorry for the rant. Hopefully there's someone who can give me an advice on what to do.
Tl;dr: I want to stop going to the hospital in the middle of diagnosis. What to do?
UPDATE here
Basically you guys convinced me to go. I did another biopsy. Thank you so much for your comments and suggestions. I appreciate it.
