I have a spilt stomach muscle top to bottom and recently had a MRI to see if I have a hernia.. It was 4 wks ago and I haven't heard anything. I'm quite thin and can feel the pulse of the blood vessel in my stomach.. But recently I can feel a lump, it feels like a tennis ball it's pretty central between my ribs.. I'm scared it's a tumour or something!! I have ibs & bad reflux too

Call your doctor and ask about the results. It should be in after 4 weeks.

Just called and the receptionist said the consultant sent a letter to my dr and my dr left no note about it to pass on to me.. The receptionist said she couldnt give any info on the letter to me cause she isn't clinically trained so my dr will call me on friday.. Duno what all this means??

I agree - any doctor can tell you what was said.
