Hi there,
First went to the doctor about six months ago with a lump on my neck. At the time they said it would go down and was likely a minor infection or cold.
In early Feb it was still there, I've lost weight and I've been having night sweats since the summer. I was referred to hospital where I had blood tested for everything, sputum sample collected, chest x ray and chest, abdomen and pelvic CTs.
Results have come back showing a 1cm nodule on my lung, on both the x ray and CT. I'm having a PET scan this afternoon, and a biopsy on the lump in my neck next week.
I'm very scared and the doctors haven't said much at this point. I don't know whether this means they've decided it is cancer and they're staging it, or is there a chance both lumps are benign and unrelated? And advice would be appreciated. It's been a month now since the doctors seemed to step up a gear and they seem to be acting with more and more urgency.
