Large lump in buttock

Hi my wife has developed a large lump 10cm approx which seems to have occurred from falling down the escalator at railway station several years ago. She has been to GP who originally thought this to be a p cyst and prescribed few weeks of antibiotics which has not changed condition of lump . The GP has referred to hospital for urgent scan this week. Can you advise me what this lump can be then.

  • Hello cdm654321,

    There's no way knowing what the lump could be until further tests are done. I hope the scan goes this week and all the best to you and your wife. When you are worried that you may have cancer, it can be tempting to look for answers on an online forum, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better. And the only person that can help is the doctor.  

    Best wishes to you both,
