Hey guys I dont know if this is the right place to post this, I have a lump uder my right armpit, its been there for about 10 months now ( I cant really tell if its grown or not) so I finally went to my GP and although he wasnt worried I asked for an ultra sound, in the hospital the lady that preformed my ultra sound wasnt a doctor but she said she was trained in it, anyways she had a hard time finding anything even thouhg i was showing exactly where the lump is on my body, she sent it to the doctor and the results came back as this:
EXAM: Ultrasound lymph nodes
INDICATIONS: 20-year-old male with lump in the right axilla. Please look for lipoma.
TECHNIQUE: At the site of the patient's palpable concern in the right axilla, extensive scanning with a high frequency linear transducer was performed. Superficial paperclips were used to bracket the area where he palpated the mass.
COMPARISON: None prior
FINDINGS:
No worrisome findings. No fluid collections. No abnormal soft tissue masses.
Occasionally, lipomas may be sonographically occult, but as already discussed, there are no worrisome soft tissue masses seen at this site.
IMPRESSION:
At the site of the patient's palpable concern in the right axilla, there is no sonographic abnormality
I contacted my GP and he said dont worry and come back if aything changes, i just cant undrestand how they can not care about something like this, I mean if lipomas can be sonographically occult, couldnt cancer tumors be too? whats to say im in no danger? this has been eating me up for the last week and i can get an appointment untill next month, I cant do my daily activities anymore i keep thinking i have cancer, and if i do i want to know the earliest so i can treat it, Please help me with any of your wisdom.
Cheers.
