I know someone who had some fatty lumps like this on their chest, they were a harmless type of Lymphoma I think so try not to automatically assume the worst. Remember, Dr's will always test for the worst case scenario first (hence the rapid blood tests x Ray and ultrasound) just in case but it doesn't mean that your symptoms don't belong to something more mundane.

No experience of this but wanted to send you a hug. I had a ( different) health scare a couple of years ago and remember how anxious I was- step away from Dr Google!!
In the end I was completely fine and I really hope you will be too.
Wishing you lots of luck.

Hi @ThatPinkJoker how did you get on with your scan etc? I have the same. My ultrasound didn't show anything so I've been referred for an MRI. Thanks
