Lump On My Leg

[Theland]

Had to go for an ultrasound at the hospital today, for a lump on my leg, (5cms X 3cms).
My imagination had run away with thoughts of soft tissue sarcoma, but thankfully the technician informed me that it just looked like a fluid filled lump.
Report goes back to my GP in about ten days.
Just wondering what happens next?

Don't know what happens next, Theland. But glad it's not something worse.

[Theland]

Cheers Tony. A big relief.
Mrs T want to know what they are going to do about the big fat lump balancing on my neck.
Cheeky woman.

[tonyav]

LOL, you can alway's trust the Mrs to come up with some clever quip.

[Theland]

Like when she went to the doctors for me about my breathing.
She complained to the doctor that I was still doing it!

She complained to the doctor that I was still doing it!

LOL, your gonna after do something about her, Theland. Stop her housekeeping dosh or something like that.

[Theland]

I whispered the three magic words to her but she ignored it.
"Where's your purse?"

[tonyav]

"Where's your purse?"

Ah yes, I have tried those very same magic words myself, they have failed everytime and those steaks for my Black eyes are expensive.

[Theland]

Never mind. There is always something down the back of the couch.

Stop whingeing, Theland.

My wife with COPD and a massive haemotoma on her leg was was possibly in a worse state than you.

[Theland]

Not whinging V.
Just wondering what happens next.
For what it is worth, I have COPD, Crohn's disease, bad arthritis, and the cherry on top is the depressive episodes it brings.
But hey! This is not a *** contest. Is it?

[Theland]

Pie sing

[vetuste_ennemi]

My wife died last night.

I assume and hope you will survive till the morning, Theland.

For this nigfht only I amy be more *** off off than you.

[Theland]

Vetuste - I am so deeply sorry for your loss.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
That is awful.
No words can actually bring you comfort at the moment but I do hope your family will rally around you and support you in your grief.

[vetuste_ennemi]

The family is good.

As are my lovely neighbours like the Sikhs three doors along who provided food yesterday and my lovely Muslim neighbour who gave me hot chocolate and cheese muffins earlier, but a super lamb curry and dahl meal tonight.

[Theland]

I'm glad you are well supported V.
Family and neighbours will be the comfort and strength you need.

Is the leg lump is a bursur (bakers cyst)?

Or thwack it with a bible ;)

[Theland]

No it is on the left side of my left leg halfway between knee and ankle.

Yes, a Holy Thump may do the trick. Or the yellow pages?

[tamborine]

The holy thump removed a cyst off my wrist ;)

[murraymints]

One less worry to fret over..hope it is dealt with soon xx

Whatever the treatment enjoy the feeling of relief, that's the trouble with the internet, we tend to Google symptoms and scare ourselves. Years ago no one would have known about sarcomas, they are pretty uncommon.
