OK - So my friend had a tumor removed on Thursday...

She is 26 and the tumor was behind her knee, they only found it because it was pressing in to a nerve.

I don't want to burden her with loads of questions but I want to be there to support her.

They are testing the tumor to see if it a synovial arcoma.

Basically, what happens next?

If it is not a synovial arcoma, what could it be? and what happens next?

I guess the worst thing is that it could be a synovial arcoma.. but again, if it is, what happens next?

Check out some of the support websites eg.

http://www.sarcoma.org.uk/

Synovial sarcoma is very rare (I used to work in sarcoma research group in the UK).

If it hasn't spread then survival rates rates for synovial sarcoma are very good.
