I'm three weeks completed 28 days of chemoradiation - got through it- and I have my oncology nurse first follow up next week, but my question is surrounding a growth on my upper arm. Its been there for probably nearly 10years and I have been told in the passing by docs that it's juat a cist, but just prior to treatment start it seemed to change a little, become a bit more red around the edges and now the last few days it is getting noticeably sore in the area - but im sore and aching all over! My brain is in fast mode now, should I wait until appointment with nurse and team in hospital or would I have to get it checked by GP first.
Delays in diagnosis of my anal cancer and its very fast growth tipped me over from no lymph to local invasion. I wouldn't want any delays on anything else suspicious. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Hi Forestflower , firstly congratulations on completing your treatment, it’s good to say it’s done isn’t it?
Just for your own peace of mind I would see your GP, you’ll likely drive yourself mad with worry if you wait for your check-up next week. My friend has a cyst on her upper arm, she had a small one removed a few years ago but it’s returned & attached to her muscle now & is causing her a lot of aggravation, she’s just waiting on an appointment to get it removed. You can always still run it past your team next week also.
Nicola
