Oh Rachel,

You must be spitting feathers! I am amazed that they didn't cancel your appointment when they didn't have your results back.

The news about your ultrasound sounds promising. It's awful having to wait another week for results, but you will get through it. Try to distract yourself from the wait by keeping busy.

Kind regards,

Hi Audrey1212,

Welcome to Cancer Chat. I just wanted to send a quick reply as I noticed you posted on a slightly older thread that hasn't been active in a while.

Hi Audrey,

A very warm welcome to our forum. I am sorry to hear that you find yourself waiting for more tests. This is always a worrying time, as there is no way of telling whether or not there is anything untoward. I sincerely hope that there is still nothing there to worry about.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Hi everyone, 

just happened to find this forum as I'm going through something similar now. I went to my GP yesterday as I had what it seems a lamp on the side of my body at the level of my armpit. Because it's on the side of the armpit and not in the armpit, they didn't think it was anything to worry about. It is true that it isn't a well defined lump, and it feels like it only comes up when I put my arm up. But it's quite noticeable when you compare it against the other arm, where there's only a gap. They only told me that's maybe the way my left arm is, and didn't refer me or wanted to do any follow ups. I'm worried now that this might actually be something and it's not going to get looked at. Can I go to the hospital or anywhere else to get a second opinion? I'm originally from Spain and really haven't needed the doctor for anything else than the usual cold for all the time I have lived in the UK. As I'm registered with my GP I'm not sure if I have any other options or if I could go somewhere else to get another opinion on it, as it won't leave my head and I'm convinced my arm hasn't always been like this.

Many thanks

Elvira

Hi Elvira,

A very warm welcome to our forum.

Many of us get benign lumps on our limbs. I have one on my arm, which worried me for a number of years. I have now been told that it is just a lipoma - a fatty lump. It is quite obvious when you look at my arm, but I have been reassured that it is nothing to worry about.

Even if you are registered with a GP, you can ask for a second opinion. Why not make an appointment with one of the other doctors in your practice for a second opinion?

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Hello Jolamine, 

thanks for your warm welcome :)

I did try to book a second appointment to get a second opinion, but they said they are very busy at the moment. The GP didn't talk about any follow ups but the recepcionist told me to check how it is in a month's time and get in touch then if anything has changed, I thought I could try and visit a walk in clinic to see if they can check it out in the meantime to give me some peace of mind.

I think it's the fact that I still don't know what the lump is that's making me worry.

Thanks for your response, really appreciated :)

Hi Elvira,

If you have a walk-in clinic near you, it might be worth visiting it. Failing that, do get in touch with your practice in a month and ask for a second opinion. 

Please let us know how you get om. We are always here for you.
