Hello Everyone,
I am unsure if I should be posting or not because I haven't had a diagnosis yet.
I am writing because I am worried and would love to hear from anyone who has experienced similar.
I recently had a CT scan with contrast on my Lung because they spotted a Granuloma on an X-ray, luckily this was nothing to worry about and hasn't been mentioned since.
They did however find a 4.3cm hyperdense lesion , Inseparable from Duodenum, they said this is indeterminate.
This was referred this a Urgent Cancer Referral and after a discuss with the nurse on the phone, they then had an MDT meeting and I have how got a Hospital Appointment with the Upper GI Consultant on the 7th June.
I have no idea what to expect and no clue what it all means and they won't tell me anything on the phone.
Has anyone else had similar? Does Hyperdense mean it's likely a tumour?
Many thanks,

Hi Shutter27 and welcome to the Online Community but so sorry to hear about your cancers.
Navigating a health diagnosis journey can be such a stressful and challenging time.
As we are a patient, caregivers or family apart from our own cancer experiences we don’t have any medical expertise.
I do see that you have put your question to our nurse team in our Ask an Expert section but do allow 3 working days for a reply.
If you are unfortunately diagnosed with a type of cancer you can have a look through THIS LIST you will find all our dedicated cancer support groups listed.
These groups are safe places to talk to others who may have a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support from members who are navigating the exact same journey.
You may find it helpful to call the Macmillan Support Line open 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00. This service provides cancer information, practical information, emotional support or just a listening ear.
Do get back to me if you need further help navigating the community.
