2 weeks ago I went to Doctors about my Blood Pressure and she did some checks and Doctor found a lump as I live alone I Am feeling scared I have not told anyone yet
I am feeling scared should I tell family or wait for CT scan
I am sorry to hear your doctor found a lump and that you are now waiting to have a scan.
Lumps and bumps can appear for lots of different reasons and in most cases won't be the result of a cancer.
Of course this must be a worrying time for you and sharing this with one or two close family members or friends may help you to feel supported whilst you wait.
Keeping yourself busy and your mind on other things can sometimes be useful to distract your thoughts, and help pass the time.
I hope you know more soon and that everything turns out okay. Please get back to us if you need any more information or support. You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
