Hello Ray1118,

It's encouraging that nothing serious was found, but if you are concerned about this other lump you should contact your GP again on Tuesday. Try not to worry and feel free to ask them questions if you have any.

Best wishes,

I went to gp today, referred me for an X-ray as she found another lump in my armpit. Bloods taken again to check for glandular fever but I don't think that's what I've got, I looked up the symptoms and they don't seem to fit. X-ray is to check for swollen glands in chest. X ray is Thursday, still hope it's just glandular fever

Not glandular fever more bloods Thursday and hopefully X-ray results. Today is my birthday and I just feel fear

I'm sorry you're feeling so fearful and anxious about this on your birthday Ray. 

This certainly isn't how any of us want you to be on your special day so if you can, do try and put your worries and thoughts to one side. I know that's much easier said than done but I hope these two articles I've found - here and here - will help keep your anxiety at bay.

Do make sure to treat yourself to some yummy birthday cake and we'll have fingers crossed all goes well next week.

Kind regards,
