Rare hard lump to skull

I have 2 go for a bone biopsy for a hard,egg size lump on the frontal lobe of my skull. The surgeons don't seem to know what it is- hence the biopsy, but they seem to think it is primary malignant bone cancer. I was wondering if anyone had had anything similar to it and what kind of treatment they had- already had 2 CT Scans and full body xrays done. Thankyou for any advice.

  • Hello Sadiemylady and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry to hear about the lump on the frontal lobe of your skull and that a bone biopsy is needed to determine what it is.

    I really hope the results do not confirm the surgeons initial thoughts, but if they do, just remember that our community are here for you and will support you every step of the way.

    I hope you hear back from some of our members soon but if you'd like to discuss any of this further with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very easy to talk to and will do all that they can to help.

    If you can, do let us know how you get on Sadie. We'll be thinking of you and will have our fingers crossed for a positive outcome.

    Kind regards,
