I agree re Google.  My GP said to me yesterday as I was going out of the surgery 'Don't Google'.  It just makes us more anxious whilst waiting for results.  I'm just trying to keep my mind and my hands busy & occupied until the test results come though.  It is hard to try and stay positive but we must.  This site is so reasuring, and everyone so helpful, that I will concentrate on here instead and stay away from Google.

Defo agree. It is hard not to think about it when your not busy. Will be good to try find something to do when not busy or like you said come to this site. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you and everybody else on this site going trough the same. Try not to let the chin drop 

Thank you x ️️

Hello Dollypops - what you wrote was me a few days ago.  I worked myself up into a ridiculous state.  I wasnn't even told by the GP as you have been - "think it's a lipoma and nothing to worry about'.  I too had an ultrasound and was called into the surgery the next morning to be told 'there is a mass showing and it is cause for concern'.  F/fwd a coupl of days to an ENT appointment - YESTERDAY -whereby the consultant told me he felt sure it was not cancer but a swollen salivary gland.  Please don't think it is any more serious that what your doctors thinks - the state I got myself into, I would not wish on anyone.  If only I had thought positive - all the time - and not just some of the time, but of course, much easier said than done.  Also - some of the best advice I got here was - don't consult Dr Google - I did against my better judgement on more than one occasion - and guess what?  Dr Google talks nonsense - he's not even a qualified doctor!  He should be struck Off!  My advice to you then - keep thinking about what your Doctor said/think positive thoughts/ think of my diagnosis with what seems thE same APPROX as yours - and more importantly STAY AWAY FROM DOCTOR GOOGLE! X

Hi thank you for your reply I am now trying to stay away from Dr Google! But every slight pain I think it’s all connected to my lump especially as I am now getting headaches I just want to get my appointment through so I can find out some answers, I am also going through a lot of stress at the moment as we have sold our house and moved out into a hotel because our new house isn’t ready yet x

Everything you say is such a natural reaction.  But just try and keep your hands and mind busy?  That helped me greatly x

Hiya Heddy! This is the Anti Fan Club of the dastardly quick Dr G. Love your comment that he should be struck off- lol. I'm gradually coming back down to earth after yesterday. Still haven't googled!!!!!!!! Wonder if presence of nurse when you are in talking to surgeon, is for his protection from overly emotional women with uncontrollable urges to hug someone, anyone, and in my case ( as far as I'm concerned) the man who saved my life - I have a vivid imagination, but you get the gist.

Dear VPlum - your message made me chuckle!  You are definitley a girl who shares my sense of humour! Hee hee - I think you are right re the presence of the Nurses - I kid you not!  Me too dear VPlum - I still havent come down to earth!  So happy for us both.  I know our messages will bring comfort to others reading them and hopefully a wee chuckle too!  Hee hee 'anti fan club of the dastardly quack Dr G' - love it! x

Huge grin here. Yep def same wave length. Put another post on here today, which not entirely relevant to you, but extolled the virtues of surgeons putting up daily with "bonkers women and their dodgy boobs". We spread the love, laughs and support on here and it's great to be able to.
