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.

  • Hi

    can I ask you how you got on please? 
    I really hope that all was ok 

    I also have a lump in my upper arm muscle and I am now waiting on a MRI scan 

  • Hi. 
     

    Yes my lump did turn out to be a tumour but thankfully a benign one called a schwannoma. 
     

    have you had an ultrasound already? I had mri, then got called for biopsy as they can't tell from mri what it actually was. The biopsy waiting for results was an anxious time. Do you have an option to go private for speed? Saying that I live in Yorkshire and even the nhs was pretty speedy. 
     

    I saw my consultant last week and he's doing a wait and see approach- if it grows in the next three months- surgery will be considered. 
     

    I know exactly what you're going through. I lost 5 pounds in a week I couldn't sleep or eat. 
     

    also, just out of interest- do you wear a fitness tracker or smart watch on the same arm as your lump? 

  • Hi 

    thanks for this 

    I have my MRI scan on Thursday so not to long to wait 

    I will keep you posted
