Lumps

My relative has recently completed radiotherapy for lung cancer a few months ago, went well, has COPD and has had a lot of exacerbation requiring antibiotics and steroids. Recently she has recently found multiple small lumps under the skin on her shins accompanied by severe cramps in both calves, very debilitating. No rash visible on skin.

  • Hello and thank you for posting

    It's difficult to know what this may be and whether the lumps are connected in any way to the cancer or to the drugs that have been given recently. It's possible that this is something new and unrelated , but will obviously need to be looked at.

    Hopefully, the specialist, GP and specialist nurse have all been informed as it's important that your relative is examined and any further tests that may be needed commenced.

    I hope things start to settle down soon

    All the best
