Hi i am in the same position and currently waiting on an urgent ultrasound scan been waiting and really worried. My blood work was clear too. I cannot understand why the doctors panicked so much i thought it was just down to the flu vaccine i hadn't noticed it before (two weeks ago)

The doctor didn't say much about my bloods. Just said clear... did they say anymore to you? 

No just  all  normal which is why i thought it was good until they started treating it as urgent.

Hi there,

Unfortunately it is possible. This is what we were hoping for too but unfortunately that's not always the case. Urget doesn't necessarily mean it's definitely bad news it just means they want to get it checked. I know it's worrying but I think it's better to get it checked and not get fobbed off like a lot of people seem to get.

Good luck!

Hey all. Small update.

after bloods came back clear I was referred to ENT who did a full feel of my lump and an inspection with the camera in my N & T. I was really emotional and the doctor seemed concerned although it seemed she tried to hide it. Reassuring that even if the worst happened there's always treatment  

Safe to say its given me the absolute fear. I'm on an urgent list for a CT and biopsy, however I have been warned it could be a while because of the time of year. 
 

untill yesterday my lump was painless, however as of today it's became really quite sore, along with my throat being a little tight, a sore head and a sore ear on the same side.  Does anyone have any advice? Should I call my doctor and tell them or?

im a shaky mess and have had to cancel driving lessons etc because I'm too emotional. Any advice would be golden x 

I feel your pain. Waiting is the worst part of it there's no doubt about it and there's nothing you can do about it unfortunately. It does get a bit easier in time, keep yourself busy and remember that lymphoma isn't the worst thing that can happen to you if it's even that. It's totally curable. It's more likely to be something innocent though! Try not to google too much and try to carry on as normal. It won't be easy but you'll get through it remember each day brings you closer to the end of this. Most importantly stay strong and positive!! 

I really want to thank you for this message. I needed some honest and frank reassurance. You don't understand the bit of calm that's brought me. ️ Praying for something innocent.

Gettint a lot of pain near and on the lump and that side of my head tonight which is worrying me so may call the docs tomorrow. 
 

how are you keeping? X 

I feel scared of course but I'm a very pragmatic person, I focus on solutions, I plan, I organise. That makes me feel prepared and in control. I stay positive because what else can I do! I know it'll be fine, it'll just be a *** few months and then it'll be over. 

You can find goodness in every evil and I am fully committed to embrace this journey and squeeze out from it as much goodness and I can! I know once this is all over we'll be happier and more appreciative of life.

It's that or I'm in denial haha (I use humour too).

Hahahahaha! You sound like me! It's the waiting thats killing me! My partner has had lukemia twice so I know regardless what happens I'll get through it, if he can I can! But this waiting with no action makes me feel so trapped and helpless. Two weeks ago I'd never worried about my health in my 22 years and now I'm a mess.
 

Travels will be there when you're ready. Sending all my love and good vibes to you both. Xxx

I know, it's the worst. Funny how life changes so quickly, just makes you appreciate it so much more.

I'm grateful the hubby has something that's curable. Some people never got to come home tonight, died in a car accident or something. Things can always be worse. 

Accept that this will be a difficult time, allow yourself to have bad days but also push yourself to stay positive. Remember nothing's confirmed until it's confirmed! 

That's great your partner got through the stuff, it just shows you. People are so petrified of cancer but these days it's actually pretty curable! 

I'm 30, always been super healthy, healthy eating, exercising etc. And when it all kicked off I realised how little control I had over things. I thought if I ate bloody kale I'd be invincible haha. But life is full of surprises and I'm just going to embrace it!

Forgot to say, if your lump is getting painful that's probably a good sign
