Scared

I found a lump in my arm in my tricep muscle. Had ultrasound they sent me to sarcoma team. Saw the consultant and had mri a couple of days after. Awaiting mri outcome. I'm soooo scared. I feel like my lump is growing even after a few days? So anxious.

    I'm sorry to hear about the lump that you've found recently and the investigations that you've needed to have. I know that many of our members here will understand how difficult this period of waiting for results and information can be. It's natural to feel anxious and worried about what the diagnosis will be. 

    Have you been given any indication about when you might hear some news or what the next steps will be? Hopefully, you won't have to wait too long for an appointment. 

    It can often help to talk and so I wonder if you might find it beneficial to speak to one of our team of nurses. I'm sure they will be able to offer you some advice and support. If you'd like to speak to them they're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Keep in touch and let us know how you get on.
