I have been told I have cancer in lymph node under both arms. Waiting for a date for lymph node removal. But today a lump on my back, just round from my armpit has come up. Do I wait till Monday to call my team or do I seek urgent help.
I'm no GP but I wouldn't have thought that's life threatening unless you are in pain or got a temperature and feel out of sorts then if this is the case you should seek help , but if it's just a lump with no other symptoms I would have thought that you could see your GP without fail on Monday or your clinic team to check this out
i knew in my head it's not an emergency/ life threatening ... but I panicked feeling it. It's new and big like a golf ball and can be seen by my OH. I will call the team on Monday and will just hope and pray that it is not a sign of it spreading or getting bigger
bless you my love I completely understand your fear , I had breast cancer last year and for sometime every lump evert pain in my body was like a question is the spread , what I want to say this is very normal I think to newly diagnosed, but I promise you as time goes on the great defiantly moves further to the back of you mind .
