So I booked an appt with the GP, my head swimming with all sorts of
nastys from google abuse. My partner at this point had been yelling
whenever he went out of the room 'Get OFF Google!'...
Typically trying to not look worried I explained to my GP about my lump,
that it was probably nothing - but could she just let me know what her
thoughts were? Having looked at it and prodded it a bit, she decided
that it was very unlikely it was Cancer, coming to that conclusion due
the fact that it wasnt 'craggy'. As I had had it for about 18mths at
that point she said right lets get you a thyroid function test done, and
il refer you to ENT. 'I tell you want lets make your lump sound more
interesting - we will say its shaped like a pickled onion - or egg. That
will maybe get you seen quicker' LOL you have to laugh!
So off i went home soooo glad that it didnt look likely that I had any of the google abuse nasties!
