Worried sick it’s liposarcoma

Hi I m 46'year old female and have had a small hard lump near my Hinch on my right leg, I first felt it about 3 years ago why I never got it checked I don't know??.. this last week it has been bit sore on and off. My doctor seen me and examined it and has sent me for ultrasound. I cant think straight or hardly sleep and am convinced I have liposarcoma.  I am worried sick, I have tried to get a private app but they are all assisting with NHS back log due to coronavirus. To say I'm starting to go out of my mind is an understatement the more I read google the more stressed I get. Anyone anything similar?? 

  • Hello Shull, 

    I just wanted to welcome you to our forum. I hope you won't have to wait too long for your ultrasound. I can imagine it must be a very stressful time for you while waiting to find out more.

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,

  • Thank you for your reply.

    Just by way of update I have been for both an ultrasound and an MRI and thank God all is ok, they said it is fatty tissue. I'm so very relieved but am very mindful that not everyone gets good news on occasions like this.

    Therefore my thoughts and prayers are with all those who are suffering and going through illness at this time xx
