    Default Herr Doktor & The Words "Might Be"

    <rant>So I've had a lump in my thigh for a month. It hurts.

    Took my lumpy self to the local ER. The doctor, well he poked and prodded... and he finally said "It might be a lymph node. If it gets worse come back, it could be a tumor."


    ....

    *head+desk*

    Now not only am I sore, I'm paranoid. Fun!

    :hugs:

    you will be ok. remember he cant say it truly is or isnt until tests. so just tell yourself that you are ok until proven otherwise

    IMO statements like that are to prevent malpractice suits.

    It's probably a swollen lymph node- an SWer posted about that kind of thing in Body Business not too long ago. (In a thread about lymphatic massage.)

    ^^^ That makes sense. I guess I just worry like mad when there isn't a definite, yanno?

    ^^ Paige, FWIW I had a lump in my left breast some time back...went through the whole "might be" and testing and whatnot and actually got a lumpectomy ultimately. (OWW) Outcome? Fibrocystic breast cyst. (Harmless, benign cysts that swell every so often for whatever reason...mine had to do with my monthly cycle, plus I was reacting to caffeine, and since I'm a coffee-holic, that made sense!)
    Hang in there. Docs like to be alarmists these days for the malpractice reason, just as someone above said. I got the "c" word with my breast lump AND with a lump they found in my leg bone (long story...also turned out to be a harmless cyst). I think nowadays they have to give you worst case scenario first and work backward. *sigh*
