"Told immediately that I had nothing to worry about"

About: GPs in Devon Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital (Wonford) / Medical Imaging

(as the patient),

I found a painless lump in my leg muscle just above my knee about 6 weeks ago - waited to see if was just a bump from something and would go but didn’t

Sent an E- consult to my surgery and was given a same day appointment. My GP referred me for an ultrasound scan at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital.

I was seen the following week by consultant radiologist, Dr Redfern who told me immediately that I had nothing to worry about. All the staff there were compassionate and kind

I was feeling worried that might have been sarcoma as had 2 friends whose sarcoma diagnosis had begun in the same way.
