Hi all,

I'm 22 and suffer from anxiety. I have had a fatty lump on my brow bone for the last 10 years. I decided to get it checked in 2018 and GP told me it was a lipoma. I was personally pretty convinced that it was some unhealed scar tissue from a bump I had as a child.

I had seen a lot of news articles on sarcomas being mistaken for lipomas so I decided to check with my GP again last week. He was certain that it was still a lipoma but does look a little larger. He did not think that further investigation was necessary.

I decided to get a private ultrasound. The results indicated a cystic mass which needed urgant referral. My GP is arranging an urgent referral and I am so insanely anxious. 

I'm convinced that it's a sarcoma and I just want to cry. I don't know what to do. I am convinced that because the GP has requested an urgent referral, it must be cancer. I have depression and anxiety and this is triggering everything so badly. I don't know how I'll get through the next few weeks :(
