my husband was diagnosed with a limpoma a couple weeks ago. It is right on his tricep.

to be safe and because it is on the larger side (9.5cm x 1.5 x 6) his doctor suggested an ultrasound.

the ultrasound told us it is not a limpoma, the tumor has some doppler red indicating blood supply And it is in his muscle.

we also know it didn't look like fat on the ultrasound and more like muscle. Tomorrow we are seeing an oncologist. We are both so scared of what it might be.

i know there is a lot of tough people in this group and I’m looking for any feedback.

we want to hear something positivE
