After some advice

Hi,

I didn’t have any symptoms other than a painless lump and slight limited flexion just because of the size and location (behind knee). It’d been there for while and was slow growing.

My consultant told me he could tell from the MRI that my lump was a sarcoma. My dad also saw the man who did my ultrasound after my diagnosis and he said he could tell from the scan there was something wrong. So, going by that, I’d say you’re probably ok. Obviously, it’s not the same for everyone but, as I said, they could tell very early on what my diagnosis was.

I saw your other post about being worried that your letter also says sarcoma- I don’t know what hospital your appointment’s with but from my experience, a lot of consultants specialise in sarcoma and orthopaedics. If you’ve got the name of the person you’re seeing, you could always look him/her up- a lot of them will have a Linkedin account which lists what they treat/specialise in.

I hope that helps and good luck at your appointment.

Hi, thank you for replying to my post.  I had my appointment this morning and the consultant is happy that it is just a fatty lump but if I have any problems with it to go back to my gp. X
