A member asked:
I have had a lump on the side of my calf for about 5 years and it's painful at times should i be worried that it's cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining the lesion, however if it has been there for 5 years, it is unlikely to be cancer. You may ask your doctor at your next visit.
