So I had my ultrasound today on my puffy face. I only got the letter this morning and the appointment was this afternoon, very lucky it was my day off work as I wouldn't have been at home otherwise to check the post.
Anyway, the ultrasound showed nothing. I asked the technician whether it could be cancer, he said if it was they would expect to see some signs of it, if not a mass then at least some enlarged lymph nodes but there was nothing to see. He suggested that I am likely to be referred to the multidisciplinary team as the asymmetry in my face can't be explained. I am kind of worried about that, but I guess it's good that he seemed positive it wasn't cancer. I am determined not to google as I know I will find some obscure and horrible thing it could be. He said they might do an MRI to look at the soft tissue but he didn't know whether it would show anything more than the ultrasound did. I am trying to see this as a positive appointment, although I would have rather been discharged and told it was nothing.
