Getting more and more anxious

Hi Everyone I found a lump at the start of my jaw just under my ear it started off the size of a pea and over a month or so it has got bigger . Seen the doctor had an ultrasound now waiting for a Fine Needle Asperation and I have been told today it takes 10 days for the results and I haven’t even got a date yet. Sorry for going on just needed to get it my chest . 

  • Hi Heinz57,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to read about your worries although I'm glad you've found the forum - it's certainly a safe space to get any worries off your chest.

    It's understandably difficult and worrying when there is a wait for answers, and the uncertainty can be really tough. It's good that you have got it checked out and that the medical team are looking into it. In the meantime try to distract yourself from the worry and to think as positively as possible, although I know this is often easier said than done.

    I hope you don't have too long to wait for the test and the results. Do feel free to explore this forum and to use it to talk through any worries you have - it's a very welcoming community of people.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
