abnormal afp test results

My doctor's office just called me and told me that my afp quad screening test came back borderline (2.0-2.49 range). The doctor referred me to a second ultrasound to see if any markers for down's syndrome or neural tube defects can be found. My appointment for the ultrasound is at a major medical center which is over an hour away from my house. I am already being sent to the same hospital to see a surgeon on Oct. 3rd and now I'm going to get an ultrasound from the on another day. This is a little overwhelming and scary to a pregnant woman!
