I had a lump at the back of my knee
Two sundays ago a painless lump came up at the back of my knee, but there was swelling on the front of my knee. I went to the doctor and did an ultra sound and waiting for the results, the techologist told me that my veins are free so it's not a clot, but the lump is smaller now than it was. I hope it's not a cancer lump.Can cancer lumps just get smaller after a few weeks?

It's unlikely to be a cancer. Don't worry.
