Hi

You’ve definitely come to the right place, everyone is very supportive and helpful here.

I’ve recently had an ultrasound and biopsies on enlarged axillary lymph nodes so not exactly the same as you. However, it is pretty standard practice for a GP to request an ultrasound and, if needed, a biopsy on a lump if the cause is not immediately apparent. It is a relatively quick and painless procedure. 

Try not to worry to much and please try to stay away from Google. If you want to chat or ask questions, come back on here.

Good luck

Thanks for that. Google is a scary place for things like this. I just wish the doctor had said more about what it was for, and the possible outcomes, as that is what I'm really unsure of. 

If you want more information regarding your referral, call your GP surgery and request a telephone consultation with the GP. Just explain to them that you are worried, they will completely understand.

Tomorrow's the day. A wee bit nervous.....
