Big lump on thigh urgent referral for a ultra scan has been

So I noticed quite a large lump proably about 3 inches wide and 3 inches in length over the weeks since I discovered this it's got a lot more fimer. I went to the doctor and she also agreed that it's not normal and put in for an urgent scan next Wednesday obviously I'm very worried! More so because she put it as urgent! Thing is I don't no if it's just come up or I've had it for a while and just haven't payed attention to my body I haven't had any pain with it either but all I no is since I noticed it about 3-4 weeks ago it's definitely got fimer maybe a little bigger as well? Some advice would be great very worried as you can imagine thank you

  • Hi BeckyH11 and welcome to our community.

    I noticed you're worried about your scan next week so I just wanted to see if I could put your mind at ease slightly by letting you know that 9 out of 10 urgent referrals turn out not to be cancer. You can find out more about this on our website but I'm sure some of our members who have been in this position or through this process will be along soon to offer their support and advice.

    Good luck for Wednesday Becky. We'll be thinking of you and have our fingers crossed for good news.

    All the best,
