Hi there lovely people. Im Lucy and this is my first post, maybe this is the wrong place to post this but I am going out of my mind!
I am seeing the consultant at the sarcoma unit QE Birmingham on Monday and I can’t bear the thoughts going through my head.
5 years ago I was in hospital for something else and a tumor was found next to my right kidney. It was a horrid few weeks waiting for them to work out what it was. Luckily it was a benign ganglioneuroma. It couldn’t be removed without my kidney being sacrificed and it didn’t cause me any trouble so they just did regular MRIs to keep an eye on it.
well recently I found a hard lump near my lower left spine. It’s solid and not movable at all. I’ve also had neck pain, shooting pains in my legs and arms, bladder trouble and bowe and other symptoms It aches at night and keeps me up and I’ve lost 5% of my weight in 3 weeks I’m going straight to them so not had any imaging done yet but I am very concerned.
how can I stop my head going crazy. One minute I think it will be nothing the next I panic and have a sense of dread. I think because it’s causing so much trouble and it’s a hard immovable lump it’s scaring me.
I know nobody can make me feel better but I’d rather be informed and know what im facing here.
just a rant really to get it off my chest!
