Awaiting 2WW haematology referral

Hi,

i found a lump in my groin area around 7 weeks ago now, it's grown progressively and is now measuring 3.5cm. I feel nauseous a lot and have a raised fever randomly. 
My legs are extremely itchy even more so around my lump.

i went to see my GP a week ago, and was sent for an ultrasound, my lump grew so I went back to the GP as still not heard regarding the scan. I've now been referred for a 2WW urgent referral to the haematology clinic. 
 

im so worried and don't know what to expect at the first appointment, my blood tests show elevated ESR and CRP also, anyone know what happens at the first appointment as I have already had my bloods taken? 
 

thanks

  • I'm sorry to hear the lump has grown Lauren but it's good you told your GP and now have an urgent referral.

    Hopefully an appointment will come through soon but whilst you wait you're very welcome to give our team of cancer nurses a call if you'd like to get a better idea of what may happen at the clinic. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and will do all they can to help.

    I'm sure some of our members will share their experiences and advice with you soon as well but in the meantime, I hope the advice given on this page will help keep your nerves at bay.

    I hope your appointment goes well Lauren and good results come your way.

    Kind regards,
