The waiting....

Less than one minute read time.

Does anyone know why we have to wait 2 weeks to get results?

    Thanks everyone for replying, it's just frustrating but I guess I understand why.

    Keep smiling :)

    Hi all

    The results came back on Monday and the consultant said it was all fine.  Then on Friday I found a hard lump on my collarbone, I guess it's about the size of a strawberry.  I went to my doctor who said I needed to have an xray tomorrow (Monday).

    I am wondering if anyone has any experience of this with melanoma and is there a connection?  The doc didn't seem overly concerned.

    Any thoughts?

    When I had the lump in my groin, a locum GP dismissed it as "just one of those things".  Yep, just one of those malignanty melanoma like things!

    You can never be too careful with this, Joolz!  

    Good luck tomorrow.

    Hi Marsha

    Was it a hard lump?

    Did it hurt?

    It felt like a marble Joolz, but didn't really hurt, more like a dull ache, with occassional twinge, and definitely not sore when prodded or poked, I'd have been less worried if it had been.  It did come up overnight, but that's what glands do anyway, when they're doing the job that they're supposed to do when fighting an infection of any kind.
