Lump between neck and shoulder UPDATE

Gem8

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... how did things go?

     

    Im in the same boat. My shoulders been dodgy for over a year now. About 3 months ago came this unbearable pain. And this past fortnight ive found a giant lump between the neck and shoulderblade. The lump itsself isnt sore to touch. So thi think my pain is coming from pressure of some sort. 

     

    All im thinking is cancer cancer cancer.. and that was even before finding this big lump. Theres growths on my scalp, in mouth and new moles appearing on my face. So my heads going 100 miles an hour thinking the worst. I have 2 young boys, and cant imagine leaving them.
