What might be?

Hi, 

I suppose I'm just starting to panic and I didn't know where to turn. 

I've recently found a lump in my leg middle. Thigh , thinking probably a fatty lump I went to gp and she's said it's quite oval and she doesn't think fatty lump, boil or anything else like that. 

She said she is unsure, as I only noticed it 5 days ago (6 now) she wants me to wait 1-2 weeks then go back if its still there to be put forward for a scan on it..i suppose I'm just abit scared.

I have a 5 month and 3 year old, so I'm kind of panicking of what may be.

 

  • Hello MrsHaylings

    Welcome to the forum and I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with a health concern at the moment. 

    I think most all of our members here will be able to understand how you're feeling at the moment. Waiting for tests, appointment and results can be a very difficult time. It's natural to be worried. 

    Keeping busy can help to stop from dwelling on things and giving Google a very wide berth is also a good idea. 

    Hopefully the lump will settle but it sounds sensible that your GP is discussing what options there are to get it checked further if needs be. 

    If you want to chat to one of our team of nruses about your concerns then they're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Best wishes,
