If that wasn;t bad enough a lump appeared yesterday so they did a biopsy and it has spread to a lymph node in my neck so now it is scan's to see if they can…

    the only reason I can see is they want me in today is that apparently there is a31 day NHS directive saying I should be seen within 31 days of appointment to see the consultant and thats up today my operation is not until tommorow. they want me in at 3pm.I AM having a sentinal node biopsy as well I wonder how long it will be before I get those results,
