I have just been seen by my G.P in regards to a lump I have had for almost 3 weeks.  It is not in my armpit but an inch or so into the top of my arm. I only noticed it when brushing my hair in front of the mirror, I hadn't any pain. 

On examination it was tender and painful [ which I hadn't experienced before]

The G.P sent me for bloods [ within medical centre]  made a referral for an Ultrasound along with one for Orthopaedic Consultant. 

I have a telephone consultation on Wednesday with my Colorectal Consultant in regards to a Colonoscopy [ 6 biopsies] done 17.12.24. I am asthmatic and was told by a G.P in the practice [ not the one I saw today]  'I don't think your breathlessness,  cough and pain are asthma related, I think you have bowel cancer '

So as you can imagine it has been a  long 10 week wait for results and I  wasn't expecting the response from the G.P today... it was the referral to Orthopaedics that is concerning..
