Hi Ladies
I mentioned the other week about a lump in my arm and having to be sent for it to be checked because of the type of cancer I have (Carsinosarcoma) yes I know lucky me a rare cancer lol. Had my ultrasound yesterday and the lady said the same as my doctor that she is sure it is a fatty lump bit results will be with my doctor next week. Feel relieved although the overthinker in my is saying what if she is wrong. Then to top it off I spent 9 1/2 hours in a&e with my nan as she was ill and in pain with her hernia but looks like it could be diverticulitis, going to end up with my own seat in that hospital lol.

Hi Rach_E
Thanks so much for sharing what will continue to be really good news, I hope that your overthinking is eased with the finding of the results next week.
I Hope Nan is feeling a bit better now too

Hi Lowedal thank you for the reply, I saw my gp on Friday and they have recommended that I have an mri as it does resemble a fatty lump but has some atypical features and with the type of caner they want to make sure so back to the overthinking I go lol. My macmillan nurse says it’s highly unlikely to be to do with the cancer but I have written myself off already. My nan is ok thank you, she’s still in hospital with a twisted bowel. X
Hi Rach_E. Sorry to read about your Nan. I've developed diverticulitis and wonder what could be in store for me. Hope she's home soon.
Hugs, Barb xx

Hi Barb, thanks for your reply. She has a twisted bowel and she is on bowel rest and she is not allowed to eat at the moment. They may possibly want to operate but they have said it will be a big operation because she has a large hernia. She said she feels a lot better then she did she’s just bored being in hospital and she’s hungry. X
