Hello.

I found a large lump in my left thigh in August 2020. The doctors told me to keep an eye on it for a few week, after which they did an ultrasound and MRI scan of my leg. In November 2020 I was told that the scans did show a tumour but it did not look concerning but I was put on a urgent waiting list to have it removed. I was put on this list on the 21st November 2020 and was told it would take around 4 weeks for the operation.

Due to covid and my surgeon going out of the country for months, my actual surgery was on the 21st April 2021. After removing the tumour the surgeon was now concerned that it may be cancer.

I have waited over 3 weeks for the histology results, to be told today that it has been sent to a second hospital now to get a second opinion but they cannot tell me anything more than that or any sort of timeframe to get the results.

Why would they need to get a second opinion? Obviously I'm now thinking the worst.
