I am sorry to hear your news but stay positive.
I myself have a swelling in my right thigh and have been referred to Sarcoma Unit for tests.
Can I ask you was it the MRI and then a biopsy that confirmed everything?
I dont know where you live however Stanmore Orthopaedic Middx is the top place for limb saroma, leg, thigh arms etc.
Were his blood tests negative?
Sorry to ask I wish you and your son all the best,
Sandra

firstly, I'm sorry to hear of your sons situation and I hope the treatment is taking effect.
I'm 21 and have been experiencing similar symptoms as your son. On examination my prostate was very slightly enlarged but PSA was normal. I've been extremely anxious the past few weeks and I'm due for a 2nd opinion soon. Did you son have a normal PSA too? I was told it's BPH but i'm still not satisfied.

However I received a high dose of radiation which came back to cause serious complications(late radiation toxicity) from 2012 to date. So maybe discuss this with consultant when deciding best treatment. I wish you and your son all the best on your journey ahead.
