Waiting for biopsy results for lump on ankle.

I have never posted before but I am so worried.

I am 30 years old. I have had a lump on my ankle since Octoberish but could be longer. I have had it examined, xray, MRI and last week had an ultrasound guided biopsy. They took 4 samples with a core needle and said it was tissue not liquid. They can not say what it is but I have been told it can take  2 weeks for results but they are concerned about it being sarcoma. 

I am on day 9 of waiting and it is awful I am googling all kinds of things. I saw my MRI and there was a large area spreading outwards. I have 3 children at home at the mo due to lockdown and attempting to homeschool and carry on as normal but it is tough. My ankle is swollen and bruised and it's hard to keep up with the housework. 

Sorry for the ramble. 

Just wanna hear if anyone else is going through or has gone through similar.
