Lump in neck, several others around the body!

Hi,

Looking for a bit advice and experiences of others. 

I recently found a lump in my neck near to lymph nodes, round edges pretty solid and continuing to grow. 

I visted the gp and ended up on the urgent pathway, met the consultant Monday this week who found others in my armpits, groin and more in my neck,CT and biopsy booked on next week.

The wait and not knowing is horrendous , I have a wife and 3 kids (they are unaware) and putting her through this is agnoy for me.

I haven't felt myself, tired, itchy hot flushes for a few weeks but since Monday these have worsened

Whilst nothing has been confirmed I got the impression the consultant knew more that she was letting on, the language she used, the outcome of the next visit, the fact my biopsy would be analysed but I'd get a phone all to see her after it had been done etc

I'm terrified to be honest!

 

  • I have no input other than to say I know how you feel. I’m waiting for a scan and biopsy on a lump and I haven’t told my family yet. I’m scared of sitting down and being told the results of the biopsy. I’m scared of the journey if it doesn’t go my way. But I know I found this and I went to my gp straight away. 

    They don’t know anything until the biopsy results are through. Just hold that thought. 

    I really hope it’s just some sort of infection and you get it sorted soon.

    any consolation in the meantime is that they were full sure my sister had lymphoma, swollen lymph nodes and a heap of other symptoms including tiredness. Test after test, nothing. Almost 8 months of symptoms and all went. They said it must have been a virus.
