Hi. I'm looking for anyone who understands how I'm feeling basically. I'm 46, have 3 kids. About 6 weeks ago I found a lump golf ball size I think in my thigh. I had to wait two weeks for a GP appt, she referred me for an ultrasound but 4 weeks later I'm still waiting so I've just booked a private scan next week.

I'm absolutely terrified. Everything I read points to sarcoma and I'm doubly worried because my leg, around my hip area, feels weird when I lay on it, although I can't actually feel a lump there, and has for much longer than 6 weeks although I can't remember how long and I (stupidly?) didn't think much about this until I found the lump lower down.

At this point I'll be shocked if it isn't cancer tbh , what I'm really after is anyone who has already done this journey and can give me their experience of treatment and survival rates. Really anyone who understands how terrified I am. My husband thinks I'm over reacting, I can't mention it to my mum because her sister died of cancer and she'll be crushed and the few friends i have told just say it's probably a fatty lump, don't worry. I get that, I would probably be saying that myself if the situation were reversed, but that's not what I need to hear right now.
