For info I'm a 31yo female. A little backstory might help:
We lost my sister (32) in December due to brain death from a sudden cardiac arrest. We had agreed for her to donate her organs but upon organ retrieval it was discovered she had metastatic cancer in her pancreas, liver and ovaries. It may have been elsewhere but this was where they were going to take organs from (her liver) and obviously abandoned as soon as this was discovered. I'll be the first to admit my health anxiety has been much worse since this as we had no idea she had cancer. She was complaining of pain in her ovaries but she couldn't get a GP appointment. Though I'm glad she didn't know and didn't suffer.
Anyway, I recently went to the GP about a hard moveable lump in the left side of my neck and after an urgent referral to ENT due to my family history, the ENT consultant thought it was a reactive node and had no concerns but sent me for an ultrasound because I am anxious about it. I also had urgent bloods but the GP receptionist said no action required so I assume they were ok.
In the ultrasound, the person said I've also got one on the right side of my neck that I can't feel. He said that he suggests we repeat the ultrasound in 8 weeks to see if they've gone down and if not then I'd have a fine needle biopsy. I thought this was the end of it but I've had a letter today that my ultrasound results are back and to contact my doctor to arrange a telephone consultation to discuss further. I can't get hold of my surgery because it's closed due to a flood and seems it will be for a few days as the ceiling has collapsed and I guess this has made me a bit anxious. What would the GP want to discuss? I already know about the repeat ultrasound? I keep telling myself that surely if it was something bad the GP would have phoned me instead of a letter?
Sorry for being dramatic, I've just had a really rough year. Prior to my sister dying, I gave birth to twins who were in NICU and when they were 4 weeks old I became very unwell and separated from them as I had sepsis. So I'm just a massive worrier since then and always assume the worst.
