@carolak Have you had a diagnostic ultrasound or other imaging? Also a scan of lungs to make sure it did not spread?

Hi I've had MRI and ultrasound. I went to a regular surgeon and an orthopedic surgeon each said they did not want to touch it and sent me to Moffit cancer center in Tampa. That Dr looked at pics and told me a soft tissue sarcoma and to have surgery. Said it was probably on a nerve and that causing pain. Said it would not go away He is Also the dr who said probably not cancer because it hurts. Did not offer to do a biopsy .. and sadly I didn't think or ask about a biopsy. He did say they would test it . That's as far as I've gotten Thank you for response.. and no chest or other X-rays or scans on body
