Womans Foot Has Been Swollen For Years, Then She Finally Goes To The Doctor To Find Out Why


When a part of your body becomes swollen people usually visit a doctor for an examination. We often delay doing this as we are reluctant to receive a diagnosis.

However, if there is a serious issue it could get worse the longer it goes on. When Cheryl Murray noticed that her foot continued to swell over a period of ten years.

First a lump on the side of her foot appeared when she was fifteen which grew to larger until eventually it was the size of a golf ball. Cheryl spoke to her boyfriend who urged her to visit a doctor.

Cheryl’s doctor carried out a number of tests and the results were shocking. Cheryl had sarcoma which is a cancer that affects the connective tissues in the body.

The doctor had to amputate Cheryl’s leg just below the knee to prevent the cancer from spreading. Cheryl now has a prosthetic leg and is able to walk once again with minimal assistance.

However the twenty seven year old concealed things from David. In 2014, two years after dating each other David discovered what she had been hiding from him.

Eventually she revealed it to David where he insisted she seek medical advice however, it was too late.

Going for checks with small pains and discomforts are easy to put on the long finger especially when life can feel so busy at times.

People have a tendency to behave this way when they presume it could be a serious condition or are preoccupied with other priorities or genuinely don’t want to deal with the truth.

Booking an appointment to see a doctor often requires taking time off of work. It’s better to deal with the issue rather than avoid it.

Finally after ten years,  Cheryl Murray after ten years went to a see a doctor in Glasgow, Scotland, as the selling had increased in size. It’s hard to believe she waited so long when you see what she was handling.

Following X-rays, a biopsy, and an MRI, the physicians identified Cheryl with sarcoma, a cancer of the connective tissue. “I never ever believed it would be anything severe,” she stated. “I was hysterical. I was so shocked I could not speak. I seemed like I had actually been typed the face two times in one day.”
