Lump

My doctor has referred me as I've a nasty lump on my leg , I'm due to go away next Wednesday looking unlikely now as can't get to see dermatologist while end of next week 

  • Hello Jily, 

    I can imagine it is a stressful time for you as you are waiting to find out more about what this lump on your leg might be. It's a shame you have had to cancel your plans to go away next week. 

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. There are helpful tips on this page to help you cope while waiting to be seen by the dermatologist. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,
