FIRSTLY apologies this is long and if you make it to the end THANK YOU :-)
Hello ,I'm 38 with 2 children youngest being 10 and very much mummy girl, I found a lump on my right shoulder/neck kinda where your bra strap sits (for thos who wear a bra :-)
No pain or discomfort I happened to itch my shoulder and found it that way so no idea how long it's been there I would say it feels little bruised or tender next day if I've been prodding it about but nothing major ...
So I finally got into the docs (limited as work all week apart from Mon),doc had feel and wanted me to have ultra scan at hosp .
Week later I had my scan (last weds) but I'm no wiser to what is happening but naturally I'm thinking the worse! And I mean my brain isn't letting me think other wise ,
So in the scan there was 3 staff, believe 1 was a student the lady doing the scan asked me to lay down and all I heard was "ok so this is a lymph node " and with that we will then check them all ,so she checked around my neck,shoulders,throat, ears , im already thinking OMG what isit i tried to ask questions but was told have wait till end.
Was then told I need to go next door with her colleague for another scan as its slight on the shoulder guess her machine was for soft tissue only ?
So after long 20min wait which felt soooo long I was so nervous feeling sick u name it already thinking worse again ! I went in and basically was asked "any sharp pains " replied no nothing I was asked this few times, I was asked anymore lumps ? I said not that I'm aware off ...this point I'm getting upset as I'm like what isit what's happening?? Sadly they told me they can't tell me as they don't know and that I'll need a MRI I said why??? Surley you must know something I'm extremely upset this point and lady was lovely and comforted me but she just said we don't know its "complex" I have no idea what this means but its confirms to me its not a cyst or a fatty lump and this is where my mind takes over that it only leaves 1 other thing!!!
Later on I had call from my doctor to confirm he will be referring me for MRI that can take upto 2weeks or longer evan though his gonna push it through the fastest way possible, and he then just said that they found something they wasn't happy about and said that no matter how skilled or trained they are not evan he could tell from a ultra sound what it is( I feel this is just a cope out as surley they must know if they can tell cyst or fatty lump from a scan there and then) he also said which makes me feel like it's his way off saying its the big c but without saying it...he said that a cyst or fatty lump(don't remember medical term) don't need vessels to live on ?? Im sure that what he said (I was very upset ) and that mine has it like vessels or something attached?? And said that there is 2 procedures first MRI then biopsy to see if its B or C ,I just feel like they maybe do know but wants to be sure my mind won't shut off from thinking its C and has it spread is that why they want MRI instead just doing biopsy? Please cab anyone help with questions what else could it be then if fatty lump or cyst us ruled out because this vessel ?could it still be anything other then the dreaded one ?
