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,

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my post. My appointment is tomorrow, fingers crossed x

That's great news Lauren :happy: 

I hope everything goes well tomorrow but if you have any questions after your appointment, you're welcome to contact one of our nurses on the number I gave you in my previous post.

Hi Lauren

I am also on the 2WW Haemotology refferal. I had my first appointment a couple of weeks ago.

They went through a load of general health questions, symptoms, family history etc.. as well as telling you any findings in the blood (sounds like you already have been told but they will go through this)

The doctor also did a physical examination on my nodes (just felt them) and has now referred me for a CT scan.

Obviously you sitiuation may be different but just letting you know my experience.

Thank you so much for this, you've helped me with what to expect on the initial appointment so thank you. Do you have any idea how long it will be before you have your CT scan? Sending you lots of well wishes and I hope everything is ok. 

I got my CT scan about a week after the appointment so it was quick. Haven't heard anything about my results until my next appointment on Wednesday. 
 

Best wishes to you also! I know first hand how worrying this is. 

Good luck for your appointment today! Let me know how it goes. Fingers crossed you get some answers.

I had my haematology appointment and have been referred for a CT scan, biopsy and ultrasound. My CT is on Tuesday next week.

Hi Lauren

The CT scan showed nothing of concern so I have been discharged from haematology and taken off the 2WW. Such a relief.

Fingers crossed your result is positive also. Best wishes,

That's great news, very happy for you! X
