Consultation with Mr Curtress

Ultrasound scan first. She has a good poke around, says to me that the consultant will probably send me back to have a bit more detailed look. She gives me a letter to take to the consultant. I have a look at the letter. Some medical speak on it. At the end it says "lymphona".

See consultant. Discuss what it might be. Could be lymphoma. I think I know what that is. I ask, he says tumor, avoiding being too specific. He says we’re not much further on knowing what it is, but least I’m in the system. No mention of fluid – I sort of felt this anyway. He says he wants to get me back to have the lump removed soon.

He then sends me for a chest X-ray and a blood test.

Trouble from Sam today as I didn't find out the timing for the op.
