Hi Ladies,

Just wanted to share that I am off for an ultrasound and maybe biopsy tomorrow on a lump that has been present for about 8 months in neck. It will be the second u/s on lump the first was done in a 'small town' hospital 8 months ago and the onc in the 'big smoke' just wants to double check so am not really expecting anything huge - but - you know its a lump and all that!!

I am due to fly home to the UK in 2 weeks time, I have been trying to get home for 2 years now since diagnosis and Eddie was born - fingers crossed that nothing tomorrow will interfere with my much rehatched plans to see my Mum... Am nervous but trying to be brave.

Cheers
