Worried and feeling alone

I know I've posted a couple of times now on this on the whole waiting for possible sarcoma diagnoses for my little girl who is now two .  

We've had two ultra sounds scan and feeling the lump and that's as far as we get I've been told 3 diagnoses for it by the same consultant . Which luckily none was cancer one was hematoma , one of from her injections( even though her injections where a year ago and the lump isn't in the right site for them) and one was granuloma annulare.  Anyway I looked into the 3rd diagnoses and I'm not going agaisnt the consultant knowledge but it's nothing like it as its no coloration not a skin condition as even the sonographer said its deep inside fat tissue .  Also it's on the front of thigh not the usual places for  that condition . And I've not heard the words ' it is not cancer' 

Anyway the consultant said If the lump was to go any bigger to go back up and she will biopsy in which in my opinion should of been done a while ago as it has been 4 months  , it has gone bigger and she said she will not be biopsing  it has it not gone big enough in her words . 

We received a letter with no diagnoses on just basically explaining what's been happening with her scan and they'll closely monitor them 

I'm stuck in what to do as I'm not happy with it all and I know I'm probley overthinking it all and overreacting but my gut Instinct  is telling me something is off .  

Anyone any advice ? 

  • Im so sorry for your little girl, why you don,t ask for a second opinion? go to other specialist/doctor follow your gutt sometimes doctors get it wrong, don,t risk it go for a second opinion or a third even but make sure your little girl is ok, big huggs xx

  • Hello, and thanks for your post,

    I am sorry to hear about your daughter and the worry that her lump is causing you.

    It is difficult for the helpline nurses to give an opinion as we are not involved in her care and can't really give a medical opinion. 

    An ultrasound is a very useful test for assessing a lump and determining whether an area needs to be biopsied. You say that your daughter has had two. If the sonographer  (ultrasound practitioner) thought there was an area that needed to be looked at in more detail, they would have said so in their report.  

    You may find it helpful to disucss this through with your daughters GP and get their opinion. You could ask their advice about getting a second opinion if that is what you want to do.

    Try not to overthink it all if you can. There are many different reasons for lumps to occur other then cancer but I can understand that it can be unsettling not knowing the cause.

    I do hope that you know more soon.

    Take care,

    Catherine
