I'm so sorry you're having so many issues. I hope your doctors will be
able to discover the issue. Maybe they will perform a sonogram to see
the size of the mass and other characteristics. Hopefully it's not a
big deal. My heart goes out to you. I hope you will feel better soon.
Hang in there. Best Wishes.
