    Hi guys...here is D.Maggie original post:

    Waiting for the other shoe to drop.
    Hello everyone, and thank you all for being here for each other. I have just joined this
    group so I dont know if I am posting this in the right place. If not, please advise.
    Ok, Sigh* here goes, this is the first time i am saying this out loud so to speak.
    I am a 63 yer old female living in Ontario, Canada. About a week before Christmas I found a small lump on my neck just below my chin. Another one came up beside it. As it was over
    the holidays it was dificult to get a Dr's. appt. The after hours clinic nurse told me I had Gingavitis and gave me anti-biotics. After 3 series of different ones that did nothing
    my doctor sent me for a biopsy. The results came back inconclusive but he had found another lump on my vocal cord. I have an appt. on April 12th to have a biopsy on this one.
    In the meantime, my doctor had me go for a C.T. Scan which I did a week ago Monday. The results from that say that I have a mass in my chest cavity and also in my groin (right side) WOW! now what??...............

    D. Maggie,
    First of all I want to say welcome to a place we know you really don't want to be. I am not a Dr. ,but if I were you would certainly not have to wait until April 12th for a biopsy. Anytime a lump is found it should be biopsied asap.Then when a mass is found in the chest it should really be checked immediately. Maybe I am wrong in saying it,but I am so disappointed in the medical care of today. The patient has to wait what seems like forever for any results or action. All I can say is we are all behind you all the way and try not to worry if thats possible. John(FNHL-1-4A-5/10)
