Hi everyone, looking for some advice for a very worried mum of four young children. About 8 weeks ago i found a lump at the back of my knee which was pea sized, within weeks it had grown to about 4cms. I went to my GP who referred me for an urgent ultrasound, the doctor at the ultrasound said as the mass was so elongated he couldn’t see it it was connected to my joint and sent me for an urgent MRI two weeks later. During this wait I went back to my GP as it had grown again. The lump is painless, hard and not easy to move, all bad signs I know. I had a call today to see my GP urgently, I have an appointment on Monday. They wouldn’t tell me anything over the phone (it was a receptionist). I’m left now with a weekend of worrying about what Monday holds, I’m guessing that as they want to see me face to face I can expect bad news? The wait is awful and trying to act normal for my children is even more awful.
thank you.
