Hello everyone,
On Boxing Day I found a lump under my right arm, I got a gp appointment at the earliest opportunity only to be told that she didn't think it was anything to worry about and to wait two weeks and see what transpired. I tried to put it out of my mind but found that quite difficult as I started to experience other symptoms such as pain and tingling in my arm, pain in my spleen area, night sweats to name but a few. When I next spoke to my gp she said that maybe I should have a scan so she referred me on 14th January. I have, today, spoken to the ultrasound department at my local hospital only to be told that the wait will be at least six weeks if not longer!!
I am so worried. Even though my doctor has examined me and listened to my litany of symptoms she says it's nothing to worry about and that I'll just have to wait. It's this waiting that is getting me down, despite what my gp says, I am convinced I've got lymphoma or something similar and am concerned that the longer I wait before anything is done, the worse it will get.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation that's ended with a positive outcome? I suppose I'm just looking for some further reassurance, something to help me sleep at night.
