I found a large lump on the back of my arm last week. Since then I have seen the GP, had an ultrasound confirming it wasn’t lipoma but in my tricep, 7.5cm and vascular. MRI has suggested it appears to be sarcoma. Seen specialist today who has told me he is sure it is and needs biopsy to confirm it. I didn’t feel at all positive after the appointment. I have ct scan tomorrow to see if they can see anything else elsewhere and I am terrified. Biopsy will be done quickly. I am not coping well at all. 3 young children. I have signed myself off work because I am just terrified. What can I do to keep myself calm? My stomach is in knots and feel like I’m in fight or flight mode (flight mode currently). I feel like I don’t have headspace for this or any fight at all.
