Fed up of not knowing!

Hello, I first noticed a lump 3 months ago so I was sent for blood tests which came back showing inflammation so I was then sent for a ultrasound scan, which they said they want to rescan me in 4 weeks time, what does this mean? Does this mean they have noticed something and want to see if my lump is still there? Also my gp hasn’t referred me to anywhere or a specialists even though I have a lump, fatigue exhausted all the time no matter what and a change in bowel movements, should I asked to be referred? 

  • Hello Claire12398, 

     I can appreciate that it must be worrying for you.  Try not to anticipate too much what this might all mean and I hope everything goes well with your scan. If you are worried do ask your doctor to explain why they are doing a rescan in four weeks' time. If you are unhappy with the way you are being looked after by your current doctor you may want to consider getting a second opinion. You can find out more about this here.  I hope you find the reassurance you need. 

    Best wishes,
