Hi Rebornmum and thankyou for your post.

Thank you for your enquiry. I'm sorry to read about your situation. It sounds like you are going through a lot.  I can appreciate how difficult it is waiting for things to happen after this news.

The letter states suspicion of cancer. This means you need to see the appropriate specialist doctor to either confirm whether it is cancer or rule cancer out. If tests confirm the lump to be cancer, you will need to determine which type of bone cancer  it is in order to receive appropriate treatment.

It is never easy waiting for appointments and results.  Regardless of how someone receives results from the doctor, there is no way of knowing what the results will show, so try not to over think things for now. Hopefully you will not have to wait too long to see the sarcoma specialist. They should be able to give you the results of your CT scan. 

Unfortunately looking things up online isn't helpful until you have all the information and the full facts from the hospital specialist.  This often can cause more worry than help when you don't really know what the biopsy has or hasn't shown.

Anxiety UK  have useful tips and advice on how to cope in these situations.

I hope this helps and you know more about your situation soon.
