Hi everyone I hope you are all safe and well.
Im so sorry for drastic title but I have literally shut myself away in bedroom and left my partner and 4 Yr old girl downstairs as I am in floods of tears. I've had a small lump on my forearm for about 9 months only recently went to the doctors because it felt bigger and harder and when I leant on it... It hurt.
I was hoping a cyst.
The doctor saw it and didn't really know what it was so sent me for untrasound. I had that last Friday.
At the ultrasound she said it didn't look too suspicious and also done a blood vessel (I'm not sure if that's right) scan and said it had no blood vessels or flow or something of that sort.
After she said that the weekend was fine and wasn't worried because I thought if bad... Surely have blood flow.
The doctor just called me and said that she wants it biopsies... I said (because I wanted reassurance again) about the blood vessel thing and she said yes it didn't have but usually with BENIGN lumps the borders are clear and mine WASN'T so it's confusing for her. And she said needs it biopsied so if it's bad we need it out.
I've gone into complete meltdown. I also work for NHS so my job is stressful right now and looking after my 4 year old as schools have closed... I dunno how to cope. I guess if anyone has any experience with lumps or whether because the border isn't clear? I'm not sure. I just feel in a mess right now.
So sorry.
