Waiting

Hi everyone.Yesterday I found a sore lump in the lower part of my armpit.I reached up and realised that it hurt.I went to my GP this morning,feeling sure that he was going to say something like it's just a swollen gland.He felt it for ages,then he said,it doesn't seem mobile.And,It feels like a rib! He said I want you to get an ultrasound first thing Monday,and gave me a referral.I left his surgery feeling so upset and on the verge of tears.It really brought back to me the day I was diagnosed.I feel though,that it will be nothing sinister,but it's that horrible waiting thing again,and not knowing for sure.I will let you know tomorrow  how I get on.Cheers xoxRobyn

    Hi Robyn, I will be thinking of you and hoping for the best tomorrow. I had a weird lump on the inside of my arm a few months back. I went off to the doctor who also sent me for an ultrasound. The lady who did the ultrasound was wonderful and told me straight away that it was nothing to worry about. I also had fantastic treatment from the doctor's surgery with a phone call that afternoon confirming that it was all ok. We will always worry but thank goodness we have access to prompt medical treatment that does not have us in that uncomfortable uncertain position for long!

    Wishing you good luck for tomorrow, Deanne xxx

    Good Luck Robyn. Uncertainty is the hardest part. Having recently been diagnosed (Feb 15) I'm in no hurry to revisit that! Let's know how you go.
