Hello!
I have a lesion in my gluteus maximus (buttock) that is growing close to my sciatic nerve, it is presumed to be benign - but noone really knows until it is removed or biopsied. I am currently waiting to be seen by a general surgeon through NHS - which in all fairness I have no clue when this will be as they are not really that bothered (I have a number I can call after 8 weeks if I have not heard from them) - even though the ultrasound was inconclusive and the MRI's looked at by the same radiologist! I have a timescale that I am willing to wait (don't really want to put myself through tests again) but I also have BUPA cover through my work - which I pay a fee to access I have just been looking at the surgeons in a fairly local area - I haven't a clue which 'general' surgeon I would approach if I take this route. I can see upper GI, lower GI, breast surgery and throat surgery. The lesion is deeper than the skin layer - so I can't see a dermatologist. Have you any idea who I should be looking for? I can't find anyone who states they do this surgery!
Thanks :-)
