I have a weird pea-sized thing in my neck 😬

The nurse doesn't think it's cancer, but she said I should get a scan and some blood-tests done, to be sure. I'm not too worried about it, but it all costs money, on top of the money I didn't even have to get all those blood tests and the ultrasound for my dog done. 😮‍💨
It's a pea-sized hard little thing in my neck.. no pain.. I'm not too worried, if anything the worry about money has probably caused it to grow! 🤣

I have something like that in my lower back.

@SW-User Have you gone to your personal nurse or docter about it? If not then you should.. 😕

SW-User

@SW-User I don't give medical advice but for me I'm determined to leave it alone. I don't want anyone poking around. My life experience tells me nothing good comes from it.

@SW-User I don't think anyone would harm it, I think they might just scan you and take blood tests, they won't even need to touch it if you tell them not to.. don't you think that would be okay?

SW-User

@SW-User they wouldn't be able to tell much without a biopsy. I wouldn't agree to that so I'd rather leave it alone. It's stayed the same for years. If it changes in size or shape I'd reassess.

@SW-User You don't know that, if it's cancerous then it is possible that they could tell from a blood test. It's not sure, but remember that no one can force you to do anything you don't want to. Just go and tell them what you do and do not feel okay with. They'll do what you feel okay with, and that's better than nothing.

It probably isn't anything bad, but I think everyone should know that they can always just state that they don't want something to be done, and then they won't do it, but they might be able to do other things you haven't thought of.

I think that people should just do whatever the doctor recommends, but if not then at least still go, and just tell them how you feel about certain things.

@SW-User I'll think about it. Thank you for caring 🙏🏻

@SW-User Aw you're so welcome, and I'm sure it's nothing bad, and I'm pretty sure my thing isn't anything bad either, but it's worth checking out. No one have even said they wanted a sample from me, or anything like that, so I think it's best to not assume what they want to do. ♡
