Lump on my quad

Hi, I was just looking for a little advice. I have had a lump just above my knee on the right hand side of my quad. It seems deep in my muscle. It is much more pronounced when bend my knee. 

I have had the lump for a few months, however, I recently just plugged up the gutts to see the GP, who sent me for a ultrasound last week. I’m nervous as there’s cancer in my family. 

My whole quad can become very painful like a burning sensation, then the next min it can feel numb? 

I am nervous about the results of the ultrasound. I have a young daughter (3) years old.

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat and thank you for posting, Frog521.

    I see from your post that you are worried about some symptoms you have.  The best thing to do is to go and see your doctor about these problems, so I was glad to read you that you've already taken this step.

    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 diagnose you is your doctor.  

    I hope this is helpful.

    Wishing you all the best,
