A few weeks ago , I went to the Doctors, I couldn't put my right arm down properly , swelling under my armpit , just didn't feel right . The months prior I had a few breast issues. Off the Docs I went came out stunned urgent referral to the Breast clinic , large lump found under armpit I didn't handle it well , went into panic mode , which is not like me , the previous year I'd had an urgent referral for suspected womb cancer, , turned out to be fibroids, thank goodness, wish I'd found this site then ,
I made the cardinal sin of going on Google , by the time I'd had my app on the 14th August , I had given myself all sorts of cancers , please dont google The people at the clinic were lovely made me feel relaxed explained everything that ess going on , the Consultant talked listened and and answered all my questions as if I was the only person she had ever seen
I.had a mammogram, a scan , I.was given the all clear , no biopsy needed , apparently I'd had some sort of infection that had caused some of my lymph nodes under my arm to swell also on the right side of my neck.
There was a lady that day who left in tears. Hit home how lucky I'd been .Please don't google , there are phone lines, with experts on the other end , who can and do talk and listen to you , I phoned them a few times , felt better afterwards .Please go if you have issues , better to find out sooner rather than later , not all lumps are cancer .Good luck to all who are waiting for a diagnosis
