What To Do For Huge Lump On Leg With Cancer?
I have had a fall aprox. 1 month ago . My leg still has a huge lump on it justto the outside of my shin and I have a strip on my shin with no feeling. I went for treatment and they said they usually use ultrasound to treat this, but I had cancer 4 years ago so they won't do this treat ment . What else can I do?

Hi and welcome to HCm. Thanks for the query.
I thing that there was some misunderstanding. if this was lump caused by fall then it should be managed properly no matter if you are oncologic patient or not. if this is lump which is related to your cancer and doctors consider that there is no benefut of treatment, then this is something else. ib every case you should do ultrasound and biopsy, apply cold compreseses on it and take proper analgesia.
Wish you good health. Regards
