14 weeks ago (whilst pregnant) I went to my GP as I'd developed a large painful swelling on my right buttock. My GP referred me to the hospital straight away. After an ultrasound I was diagnosed with a hematoma as a result of a wrongly sighted steroid injection a few weeks earlier. I was in hospital for a week before the surgeons decided what to do with me as I was pregnant. Then it was decided I would have the hematoma removed under spinal...this then triggered the birth of my baby 5 weeks early and I had an emergency c-section on the same day. After a few weeks the swelling reappeared and I couldn't walk again and had an infection . I was readmitted and subsequently had the hematoma washed out 7 more times. Each time the swelling came back. Eventually my consultant sent a biopsy to histology and this is when I got the devastating news that the lump was a sarcoma, thankfully I only have one tumour although it's very big. I am now in hospital waiting for op to have it removed on Friday I'm very anxious about the surgery and can't stop crying. I just want this thing removed so I can get on with my life but keep imagining the worst. Any positive experiences would be appreciated as this is eating me up from the inside.Â
