Talk to Anne

Spoke to Anne today. Have to be honest with her about the lump. Don’t try to panic her. Agree not to tell mum yet, not a good time. Will wait till I know appointment and hopefully after 12th March.

Mum’s birthday - see doctor

See Dr Terry at St Francis Surgery. She’s quite pleasant – about my age. Feels lump and shines a light through, quite transparent. She says it's probably fluid. She sends me to the hospital for ultrasound, expects them to drain it. Will use the fast track to get it sorted.

Moving house –find doctor

I told Sam about the lump this morning. I need to get registered at the surgery. When I go I can't get an appointment soon, none until 9th March. I would like it sooner, can do if I speak to triage nurse. She phones me back in afternoon, discusses lump, I get Friday appointment -still not too soon.
