Advice

I've been to the docs about a lump under my armpit, had it now for 3wks that I know of.  The doctor said when I went last week "that it's not a gland", so sent me for blood test, she said "if they come back negative, to come next thursday' (today) they will investigate further.  So the test came back normal, so I made an appointment for today, the doc I saw wasn't there, so had to see the nurse.  When I got there she said " it says on here (computer), it's not a cyst, it's not a gland, so I not sure what she wants us to do", she had a look, said what had already been said, in the end she said " that doc will be here next wk (Wednesday), if nothing changed, make another emergency appointment", so I said, "it's already been 3 wks",  which she,replied, "just see how u go", so I then said, "do u think it's cancerous then",  which she replied "not sure wouldn't like to say",  is this how it should be or should I of demanding to see a doc, instead of waiting another week?

  • Hello Tink66, 

    I think it would be a good idea to ask to see a doctor who will have the expertise to interpret those medical results. You can either wait until Wednesday and ask to see the doctor you saw or ask to speak to another doctor.

    I hope you manage to speak to someone very soon who will be able to tell you more! 

    Best wishes,
