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.

  • Update So I had the MRI which lasted over 10 songs so I think it was about 30-40minutes. I wasn’t expecting to feel like the machine was cooking me from the inside out. Anyway it turns out the MRI confirmed it is a mass within my left trapezium muscle, I had a consultant appointment on Saturday afternoon and he confirmed it is a tumour. I am now being referred to a different hospital which are specialists in this area. So they still can’t rule out if the tumour is cancerous or not. Which I had expected. So more waiting. More not knowing. My mum ‘had’ to tell all her brothers and auditors so now they all ask for updates which is infuriating. My auntie who is obviously not medically trained thinks I just need the lump ‘worked out’! I really don’t want my family or friends knowing all my medical details or updates is this wrong?
  • Hi, how did this work out for you in the end? I have similar symptoms and am absolutely terrified.
