		+	== summary for consultant ==
		+	Timeline
		+	25 August: First discovery of lump.
		+
		+	Early September:
		+	* Moved from Berlin to London then to Singapore. Had extreme jet lag.
		+	* Difficulty acclimatising to weather and spicy food
		+	* High stress work in Singapore + writing dissertation
		+	* Carried extremely heavy bags, right shoulder and back pain
		+	15 September: Food poisoning. Pain at bottom of left rib cage. Watery stools.
		+	17 September: Noticed that there was a bigger lump next to a small lump.
		+	Very alarmed and stressed. Shoulder sore (heavy bag)
		+	18 September: Lump still the same on 2nd day.
		+	Shoulder still sore.
		+	19 September: Saw my family doctor.
		+	23 September: Saw Head & Neck Consultant. Consultant did Nasal endoscopy to rule out nasal issues – all clear.
		+	Referred for Ultrasound.
		+	24 September: Ultrasound scan
		+	25 September: Intermittent sharp chest pains in left and right side of rib cage.
		+	Sinus pain – but probably from nasal endoscopy.
		+	28 September: Intermittent sharp chest pains in mainly right side of rib cage.
		+	Pain went away after eating ibuprofen.
		+	29 September: Consultant sends over report.
		+	In email suggests further biopsy or tests to determine.
		+
		+	Pre-existing
		+	* “Sugar lows”?
		+	** Often experience what I describe as “low sugar” episodes of running out of energy, lightheaded sensation, cold hands, palpitations, if I do not eat food on time.
		+	* Intermittent pains in ribs / rib cage on mainly left side under rib cage
		+	** Not sure if stress related or posture related (I use a standing desk)
		+	** Could this chest pain be related to my complete inability to burp / betch + extreme gag reflex and fear of choking?
		+	* Lump in bottom of throat when swallowing for last few days
		+	** Not sure if stress related or after nasal endoscopy?
		+	* Previously noticed a lump in right breast in early teens.
		+	** Lump seems to have disappeared but no idea when.
		+	* Small lump behind right ear
		+	** Has been there for as long as I can recall?
		+	* Fear of asymmetry or swollen spleen in 2012.
		+	** Referred by Family Doctor Dr Chan to do ultrasound in 2012 – but inconclusive.
		+	* Recent rashes on sides of fingers and elbows from handling archival materials in dusty environment (dishydrosis or eczema)
		+	** Normal recurrence whenever exposed to dust or allergens
		+	* No weight loss, No itching, No night sweats, No loss of appetite.
		+	* Extreme and debilitating phobia of pills and throwing up.
		+	* Cannot use tongue depressor or will be incredibly distressing for all.
