  • Dear Ali, please try and calm down a little bit, a two week urgent referral is standard within the NHS so you are not left worrying about something that may well not be serious   I had one of these in March and then a scan was ordered after I'd seen the consultant.  A biopsy is also normal and not painful at all, it's to check if there is any signs of infection or other problems.  Mine came back negative just fatty hard lumps that were removed safely.  Enjoy your daughters dance competition and soon you will have some answers, the worrying is the worst part and not knowing the second.  I hope this helps a little bit to calm your thoughts.  Best wishes, Carol
