Hi
Just wanted to say a BIG BIG thank you to all of you who have helped me get through a very difficult week of my life.I really appreciate all your thoughts,words of support and kindness.
I think I’ve got good news too, but I’m still a bit confused and no one is really sure what it is.
I was seen by a doctor who examined my lumpy mass and thought it was most likely a cyst (my heart lifted)although it was much bumpier and grittier than a typical one. She then did an ultrasound on it to see if it looked like one on the screen. At this point when she saw this she changed her mind and said it did not present itself as a cyst at all( my heart sank), although she thought she could see some very small ones.She then called in the consultant who had another thorough prod and feel. He wasn’t sure what it was but didn’t think it could be cancer as it would show as a big black mass on the ultrasound and apparantly my lump wasn’t showing this. He then said for me to go away and let it settle and come back in 6 weeks for a fine needle aspiration to explore it further. At this point I protested and said I couldn’t bear to wait that long, so he did the fine needle aspiration thing saying really it was to put my mind at rest. I then waited around and for the results. Thankfully they came back and no cancerous cells were found-HURRAH! They still want me to go back in 6 weeks time to see what has happened.The consultant didn’t see me again and the doctor didn’t really have any ideas other than a vague’it might just be a thickening’. She also said the area may be a clump of cysts which is creating the bumpy effect.
So all in all good news I think. The only thing is that now the area is really painful, has swollen and is very tender to touch. It didn’t even hurt before!! So might end up back at the doc’s tomorrow after all.
Anybody any ideas???
Love
Freddie xxxx
