Hello Kaite_S2208, happy new year 2023 and a big welcome to Cancer Chat! 

I am sorry to hear you have experienced all these stressful issues recently and found this pea sized lump in your groin.  I hope that you will find out soon what has been causing these symptoms. 

It's normal to be worried and that your family history is playing on your mind but try not to relate your current issues to the fact many members of your family have had cancer as there are so many other reasons which could explain your symptoms. 

I hope that you won't need to wait too long for your pelvic scan and your blood test results. Waiting can be the hardest thing and make you even more worried and there are helpful tips on this page to help you cope while waiting for news. Try if you can 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. 

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, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
