The Lump (another post, sorry)

[pennyrose]

So good news - my FBC blood test came back normal. That's a normal I'm not going to question.

HOWEVER my lump has got bigger Surely it should be getting smaller?

The test is normal therefore it is nothing "nasty" but I do feel anxious about it. Maybe that;s what is making it feel bigger.

Peace and love from a scaredy cat xx

I know you're anxious and scared but you really need to find out what is causing the lump even if it is only a swollen gland or a cyst. What did your GP say it was?

Sorry, I've just looked back - your doctor said it was a swollen gland - did he say what he thought was causing it? Especially if your FBC is 'normal'?

Don't worry, and thank you for calling.

He said it was a swollen gland. Because I had been back with neck pain issues/goiter which I'm *hopefully* getting a scan for I assumed it was maybe my thyroid irritating it? He then googled and said thyroiditis could cause the swollen lymph node....

I haven't spoken with the GP today, just the receptionist....maybe I should give him a call.

I feel like such a baby! x

Fingers crossed for the scan then. Hopefully your gland will go down. I know I get swollen glands every now and again, they just seem to pop up every now and again. They aren't really like a lump - more of a little cushion. 😊

thanks so much. Still no scan appointment and my little "cushion" (or rock, as it's pretty solid) is just sitting there smiling sneakily at me.

Exhaustion has struck so off for a wee cup of tea (first of the year!) x

You've done well I this is your first cup of tea this year, I'm trying decaff tea and it's fine but I'm not a tea expert also take mint tea, I like the fact it is hard to stew that.

Hopefully that annoying little cushions days are numbered - enjoy your tea 😊
