Hi I have a large lump on the side of my neck which is growing. I don't know if it is just because it's warm today...but I feel very mucus and breathless which is making me a bit panicky. Any advice would be welcome

  • Hi. You are starting treatment soon aren’t you? I would give the hospital a ring. Better to get reassurance if that’s all you need. Fingers crossed

  • Hi Dani, I get measured for my mask Friday. Radiotherapy will start about 6th July. I tried to call the macmillan nurses but they had gone for the day x

  • If you really are breathless then I wouldn’t hang around. I’d try A&E

  • Thanks Dani, I contacted 111 and they advised I go to a&e. Turns out it was high blood pressure..and a panic attack. X

  • Sorry you had to endure the wait but at least you are reassured. Hugs
