Not sure if already said but how did you find out. Was it during check up or was there symptoms.  Sorry to hear but sounds like caught early or least not too late.

My leg was itchy and when I was scratching it I could feel a subtle lump. When I pressed on it, it was tender and sent a weird feeling down to my heel like when you bump the nerve in your elbow. Went and got it checked a few days later; the doctor recommended an ultrasound. The ultrasound indicated a tumor.

On the positive side, things have been moving fast; it took me less than a week after noticing it to get a diagnosis, so while I don't know how long it was there before I noticed it, at least I haven't had to wait around for ages before getting it dealt with. Hopefully the operation will also come around promptly; it could be out of me within a month of finding it, which would bode well.
