Hello, my name is Lisa and I'm 26. I saw my GP today after some worrying symptoms and unfortunately? They wanted to do a red flag referral for a scan. Fortunate that I'm getting the scan - unfortunate they are that worried they are red flagging it.
I've had ongoing issues with tiredness, night sweats etc for the last couple of months. Also been having issues swallowing and choking on liquids and foods more often. Found a lump on the front of my neck closer to the right hand side so GP checked this all today and could definitely feel the lump there. She's sent a referral through for the lump to be checked via ultrasound. She's also sent me for a myriad of blood tests - FBC, thyroid, liver, kidney, two inflammatory markers, diabetes, folic and B12 - basically? The full MOT. Got them done today after seeing the GP.
Honestly, I don't know what I'm looking for here. Some reassurance? I know waiting on results is gonna be the hardest part cause I'm not going to know what's going on properly until then.
Got any advice when it comes to waiting?
