Waiting for diagnosis and pregnant

Hi all, hope everyone's ok.

i've had a seemingly innocent ear infection for a number of weeks probably over a month (ear canal infection) and been to doctors twice where it hasn't resovled. Last time I went I had a a large lump behind my ear more like raised bone. I've been diagnosed with bells palsy as well which I presume this lump is the cause of. Currenly on steriod tablets for 2 weeks. The mass only got picked up and investigated further by my ENT clinic at the local hosptial where I mentioned it as the GP surgery didn't help at all. Then came blood tests and MRI's and a ultrasound led biopsy behind my ear. i'm guessing it's more to do with my temporal/mastoid bone. 

I got a phonecall yesterday saying that my results are back and i've got go to the clinic which is for all things cancer related beign and malligant - I googled as i'm curious but it's just filled me with dread. I've still got to wait until Tuesday which feels like a lifetime away. 

i'll be 24 weeks pregnant on Tuesday as well. I just don't know what to think

 

has anyone else had to wait for a diagnosis when preganant? i'm trying not to stress but it's so hard. I have my partner our little 4 year old girl and work on top of everything else :neutral:

  • Oh gosh poor you this is such an anxiety inducing time. I echo what the others have said and really try and stay away from Google. 

    I know Tuesday feels like an age away but it will soon be here and you'll have your answers! Try and distract yourself as much as you can and stay calm! Easier said than done I know. 

    Please let us know how you get on xx
