Always look on the bright side of life :D
As many of you know I struggled with severe pain in my left shoulder from about 21 weeks towards the end of my pregnancy my arm stopped working suddenly. I went back and forth to the docs and was told several things mainly that its muscular and that id trapped a nerve.
After Dylan was born I went to the docs they referred me to a neurologist and on 23rd I had a scan, gp rang this am wanting to urgently discuss the results, they did a home visit. I have a lump in my shoulder that is compressing some spinal nerves causing the issues.
They have said they dont know what it is but I have to have an urgent scan with contrast to determine what it is, but with my history its possible the cancer has returned.
I just know and its been written all over my hubbys face all day, its back I thought 3 years since my op and beating the odds to have my baby boy despite all the intense treatment I could be normal again, now im looking at tests and treatment for something they now wont be able to cure. Its not fair I want to see my little boy grow up, give him a brother or sister and grow old with my hubby is it too much to ask?! I dont want to go through this again and I cant tell my mum until I get a definite diagnosis as with my dad so ill I think this may kill her
I just needed to write it down, I know right now I dont know for certain but what else causes a lump in your shoulder, everythings moving so fast and I just want to get off this rollercoaster![:\](https://forum.madeformums.com/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")

Do you have a scan date yet?
Please feel free to use the forum for support whne you need it.
Hugs Em x
I'm so sorry you are having to go through this after the joy of your beautiful baby, I know its easy to look on the black side especially with the things you have gone through in the past but it may be something harmless and only the scan can give you a definite diagnosis. Have they given you a date for your scan yet ?
Please look after yourself and if you need any support or to just sound off about anything we are always here to listen.

I don't really know what to say other than I'm sorry that you have been dealt this news - as hard as it is and as easy as it is for me to say please try to remain positive as nothing is certain until your scan - and even if that shows the worse - you have beaten it once and now you have even more reason to beat it again - and I'm sure you would!
We are all hear to listen and support - big hugs xx

Hopefully you will have your appointment now and the quicker that is the better and then at least you will know. After that, like Sim said (I think she should be a counsellor coz she gives fab advice) just take one day at a time.
Keep us updated hun. I am thinking of you xx

Like the others have said, don't panic, wait and see what your scan results are. I have a friend you recovered from cancer twice, so if the news is the worst it doesn't have to be the worst if you see what i mean.
take care
