Lump between neck and shoulder UPDATE

I noticed a lump end of November which I thought was just muscle tension between my shoulder blades. I saw my GP before Christmas as it had grown and she measured it and asked me to come back 4 weeks later. Which I did and it had grown again. I have had blood tests and ultrasound so far to diagnose it. I now need a MRI which is on Tuesday. I’m terrified and thinking/preparing for the dreaded C word to be used.

I have two young girls (2years and other 6months) I can’t stop thinking they are going to grow up not knowing me. Feeling very low and really trying to push myself to do the daily tasks but it all seems rather pointless.

  • Hi there ... it seems most posts on here are to do with "waiting" and l can so understand it's harder when you have little ones ... but it could be lots of things .. and what lots of us have found usefull is keeping as busy as poss ... l know it's easier said then done, but theres no easy way through the waiting ... if you start thinking the worse it feels overwhelming ... at it's easy to loose reality ... 

    I'm just used to it now, with tests , appointments,  etc ... and most times it is o.k ... so hold on in there ... and fingers crossed you'll be fine ... don't worry bout your photo taken off, as wer only ordinary people like you, and we wouldn't be able to tell you what it is ... big vertual hug ...

  • Thank you for the reply

    Time really can drag if your not doing anything and just wallowing which is what I’ve been doing all weekend! It is so unlike me as I’m usually the type of person who just gets back up  and carry’s on through what ever.
