I am so scared. I posted before about 2 lymph nodes I can feel in my neck. One at the bottom and one about half way up on the right side. Yesterday I noticed that I have a lump on my left leg on the shin a couple of inches below my knee. It feels soft. I am 25 weeks pregnant. I googled and sarcoma came up which it says is a soft tissue cancer. I am terrified now incase the lymph nodes are related :weep:. Please help me
honestly sounds to me that youve maybe bumped it and not realised hunni ive had these sort of bumps before xx
Not sure if this will help, but last year I noticed a big lump on the back of my forearm, just below the elbow. I was in a right panic for a few days, but it went away. Seems I had banged it an not even registered that I had! It can happen. Try not to worry. X

Thanks for your help. I have def not bumped it as its not sore at all or like a bruise. It feels quite soft. I cant stop checking it and worrying about cancer especially as I have two lymph nodes in my neck which I can feel :weep:. Thanks again for your help x
Sunflower you must stop this and see a doctor. Believe what the doctor tells you. You will go into a downward spiral if you can't get a grip on this self checking behaviour.

Mohc - You are right. The constant checking is fuelling my anxiety but I am finding it so hard to stop. I am waiting for an ultrasound on my neck but will prob have to wait a few more weeks. I have also been waiting for CBT for over a year. The Doctor told them I am pregnant but I am still waiting on an appointment. I just keep convincing myself I have cancer :weep:. When the Doctor felt the lymph node at the bottom of my neck near my shoulder she said it felt ok but also said 'its a strange place to have one' which I cant stop thinking about.
