Scared first time poster

Hello I'm chrissy and very scared

I'm a mother to 3 beautiful girls and 12 years ago I went to my gp with a lump in my leg the gp said it was a cyst and nothing to worry about so I didn't in the past 3 years I've noticed more and more lumps on both thighs and both arms 20 altogether. I went back to my gp and she recommended I go for a scan as she had no idea what they are well that was 4 weeks ago and I've still no appointment. I shouldn't but I have been on Google and I'm now terrified I have some form of cancer and I've left it too long to be treated x

  • Hi Chrissy and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry you still don't have an appointment yet, it must be very frustrating. If you feel it's been too long maybe you could let your doctor know as they may be able to chase it up for you. 

    Our members know how stressful and scary this time can be so hopefully you'll receive some support from them soon but in the meantime try to stay away from google if you can as it will only make your fears and worries worse.

    Fingers crossed you'll get seen soon Chrissy.

    Kind regards,
