  • Hi Kell333

    Welcome to the forum and I'm sorry to hear that you've been unwell recently. It's understandable that you're feeling worried after being given the news that you need more tests. 

    A heterogeneous mass is tissue in the body that's more dense or solid than usual. They are often benign (non cancerous) but may need further investigations to be sure.

    If you feel it might be helpful to chat things through with one of our team of nruses whilst you're waiting then do give them a call. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Best wishes,
