Ultrasound results

Hi Iv recently had a ultrasound under my left arm as my doctor found 2 now 3 lumps there , I was wondering if anyone one knew what the receptionist team can tell me after the doctor has looked at the results , I know they are not medicaly trained but are they aloud to say if it's a cyst or a fatty lump or will I be called in to speak to my GP for that as well as a tumor. Also after I had the ultrasound I noticed another lump cuming up does anyone know if that's normal .

  • Hi Jay20191 and welcome to the forum. 

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently found some lumps which have caused you concern. Typically receptionists are not allowed to give out results over the phone. This is fairly standard and common practice. 

    Given that you've noticed another lump since your scan it would probably be a good idea to see the GP for this as well just so that they can check it over. 

    I hope that you don't have to wait too long for your results. Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
