I had an ultrasound scan because of long term abdominal pain - I've been going to the doctor asking for a diagnosis of it for four years now. The lovely man who did the scan saw a 'lump' inside my bowel and sent me for an X-ray of my abdomen that same day. So now I'm waiting to hear from the hospital whether I've got another follow up appointment. They wouldn't tell me anything then and there. The ultrasound guy muttered something about being surprised by how big the lump was (he was doing the measurement of it and said 'but it CAN'T be THAT big...') and I said 'Well I've had the pain for a very long time', and he said 'Really? Okay.' and wrote down the measurement. I didn't ask what the measurement was. I got blood test results back today which were normal. I'm telling myself that that means whatever it is it isn't cancer (even though I know that's not true... so I'm not convincing myself!)
My next scheduled appointment isn't til March, but I'm guessing they'll bring it forward since they've found something? The ultrasound guy also did a scan of my gallbladder which he didn't say anything about and wasn't part of what the referral was. My mind is racing a bit. I'm trying not to think about it at all but then I start obsessing. Google is not my friend, and DH is so worried that I'm trying to seem cheerful and unbothered to keep him from stressing.
