It was only a harmless cyst in my arm so I now have a neat line where it was taken from. Phew what a relief.</p>

<p>Probably shouldn't worry but I found a pea size lump in my arm muscle 4 weeks ago. GP said shouldn't be cancer (wrong place/shape/feel) but with my history of cancer to go back after 3 weeks & see if it's grown - it hadn't. I seem to have felt it so many times I'm surprised there's no bruise. Anyway the gynaecologist saw me for a routine checkup yesterday and said could just wait & see - but he coudn't see it being cancer. If it was worrying me they could take it out & I'd just have a sore arm for a few days. I said "Yes please" - am I a glutton for punishment or what?</p>
<p>So this Friday I should have a sore arm.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="https://community.macmillan.org.uk/aggbug?PostID=275644&AppID=29937&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">Former Memberhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/members/formermemberVolunteerhttps://community.macmillan.org.uk/cancer-blogs/b/volunteer/posts/volunteer2009-09-24T19:07:48Z2009-09-24T19:07:48Z<p>Yeah!</p>
<p>I'm a volunteer. I've filled in all my forms and had a trial run in a charity office today. I'm going to do 2 afternoons a week so long as I feel ok. I'm hoping this will give me a kick start into the jobs market as I couln't continue working in school - not enough energy to run round with tinies! The cancer treatment last year really tired me out.</p>
<p>I can now try for an office qualification - the local college say you have to be in an office to take the course.</p>
<p>This is my fourth career change since I left school in 1976!</p>
