My MIL's found a lump

[noo noo]

My MIL has found a lump. Its on her neck kind of behind her neck. Its apparently been there for 3 or 4 weeks but she did nothing about or and told nobody. One of her daughters has been stying with her this week with her grandkids as its half term here and she noticed it and made her go to the GP. This was on Wednesday. The GP took one look at it and made her go into hospital there and then - a 70 mile round trip. She saw a consultant and is booked in for a biopsy on it tomorrow morning at 10am.

I'm really worried because they've acted so quickly. She's supposed to be going on a 3-1/2 week holiday to Australia at the end of October and she reckons that they've bumped her up the queue because of this - but I'm not so sure.

DH is being very quiet about it all. His Dad (MIL's husband) died of cancer aged 48. I guess he's really worried too but scared to say anything.

I so hope she's OK. Not sure when she will get the results of tomorrows tests.

God C, I'm really sorry to hear that. I reckon they have'bumped her up' the queue because she's had the lump for a month and not spoken to anyone about it.

I hope it's nothing serious honey and just something like a build up of fluid :higgies:

:higgies: to you. If it's any consolation my mum recently had a bit of a "scare" and was seen within 24 hours, she was terrified at the speed and mentioned it to the doctor why they were rushing her through, and apparently it's all down to government targets.

Fingers crossed it's something and nothing :higgies:

Hope its nothing serious!! :hug:

Hope they are just being over cautious. I had a lump on my neck about a year ago and it turned out to be some kind of cyst.
Hopefully it will be a similar story with your MIL>

[irislili]

aww noo noo - after the good news about Iona you really dont need the worry love. I think that there are clinical guidelines that mean that she had to be referred swiflty and hopefully it'll all be okay :higgies:

[noo noo]

Thanks everyone. I just feel like a weight has been lifted off our shoulders with Iona getting the all clear and now this :no:

DH has been hiding in the garage all evening - I don't know what so say to him.

I so hope it is a harmless lump.

[Blonde Girl]

Oh NooNoo, it's one worry after another for you and your Dh isn't it? I'm so sorry that this is such a scary thing to go through but chances are it's just a cyst so please don't worry too much. Thinking of you :higgies:

Hope it all works out okay. It is very common to get these things checked out quickly though just to be safe. When I had my first lumpectomy I saw the Doc on the Monday and by the following Monday had had it removed and it was benign, phew.
Let's hope it is the same for your Mil. :hug:

[book_lover]

How are you all today noo noo, how's DH?

[Welly]

[Narcissa Malfoy]

[Cheetara]

[Madwife]

I hope it doesn't turn out to be anything sinister :higgies:

[*Marti*]

:hug: could be anything, cysts even, my mum had one and it was harmless. Hoping its nothing:hug:

[cheeky_biscuit]

sorry I am late to this.
:higgies: hope there's nothing to worry about. they do seem to act incredibly quickly with things like this, and probably quicker in light of her holiday.
Fingers crossed it will be ok - you know where we are if you need to vent.

[Spuggy]

Hope everything turns out to be okay hun,

[chuckle_monster]

Thinking of you and your Mum Noo Noo, hoping for good results on Tues/Wed let us know. :pray: xx

[noo noo]

We're still no further on. She hasn't had results back on her biopsy yet but she has been given an appointment for a scan next Wednesday - the day before she is supposed to be going on holiday to Australia. :no: :cry: She doesn't know whether to bother packing or not.

[Hello Kitty]

Did she get the appt for the scan following the biopsy or before?
One of my lumps has been biopsied, ultrasound scanned and mammogrammed and after all that was glad to find out was a fibroid adenoma (benign)
