The "cyst" is in fact NOT a cyst, but a
tumor. The second opinion doctor referred
me to an orthopediac oncologist. He
confirmed that this is a tumor and is
pushing up on my kneecap causing me all of
this pain. I am so angry, I told the first
doctor about this pain a long time ago.
Now this tumor is just getting bigger and
it's growing faster. So I am scheduled for
surgery on the 18th of September, that was
the quickest they could get me in. At this
point, they don't know what kind of tumor
it is. They will do a biopsy the day of
surgery, so I'll find out when I'm all
durgged up if this is malignant or not.
I have a high tolerance for pain and am so
upset that the first doctor totally blew
me off, as a result I will have a much
more invasive surgery to deal with. Not to
mention, I had to live with this pain for
some time now. Plus a bigger scar! This
could have been removed when it was
smaller, but NO I was not taken seriously
and was looked at like I was some kind of
crazy women complaining about some made-up
pain. I feel like going back to the first
doctor and telling him off, I am just so
mad!
