Has anyone had abnormal lumps appear?

Hi Everyone,

So, in May i noticed a painless, palpable, no proper definition lump on my right forearm and it jept growing throughout June and now it's 7cm. Went to GP and they ran regular blood tests and ESR, Serum globulins, Ferritin was all raised. They suspected soft tissue sarcoma and had US, which showed nothing but since May i've developed 2 other lumps, one on left calf (causing total muscle weakness) the third one being hard 1cm in upper arm of the hand i have 7cm. I saw an oncologist yesterday and they did more bloodworks and will repeat US (not sure why) it makes no sense but wondered if anyone has had a similar experience, if so what was it. Thank you.

I have no idea what it could be (limpoma) but I hope you stay on top of it and post when you find out …. Im surprised they haven’t done at least a biopsy.

It would answer so many questions. GP referred to a top cancer hospital who rejected my case and so gp had to refer to another hospital who specialise in vague symptoms. They requested to get chest x ray, do a CA125, fit test all not related to the lump. The US did not show any uneveness either. Requesting gp for a mri referal tomorrow.

Limpoma is fat lump that can crop up anywhere on the body this is what I understood from watching the Pimple popper on TLC the other night (gross show) …. But Im no doctor and just guessing but I would ask about biopsy if they can’t confirm what your lumps are.
