My lump aches!!!

I think I’m going insane, I’ve posted on loads of threads with different things, I’m hoping I feel better once I’ve seen my oncology doctor.

my lump has been aching today and I don’t know if this is something that happens or it’s in my head or it’s ( fear kicks in) that it’s spreading, I’ve been living this nightmare for 6 weeks now and I feel like the quicker my treatment starts the better my chances of it not spreading and I know the doctors know what they are doing and I trust them but my mental health is absolutely rock bottom. 

has anyone experienced this or can offer advice

  • Hello jobieejo,

    I can understand your worried, but it's important to give yourself the time and space to process what's happening. It can be natural to overthink things and even think the worst, but in situations like this is so important to take things step by step. I hope your oncology doctor will be able to reassure you and address any questions you may have.  

    If you're finding that you're struggling, we offer guidance and information around mental health and cancer, as well as support that might be available to you. Also, if you'd like to speak to our team of cancer nurses about anything, you can on 0808 800 4040. The helpline is free and lines are open from 9 to 5 Monday to Friday.

    Best wishes,

    Moderator Anastasia
