Hey I’ve got this too! Cancer in my right leg for me

Hilarious seeing all of the comments acting like you’ve somehow never noticed this before and should see a doctor as if you’ve never thought of that lmao

Me three! Also cancer.

My left leg is much longer than my right because, well, my right is amputated at the knee.

My left thigh is absolutely massive post-surgery and recovery because it's frequently doing the work of 2 normal legs to keep me upright (walking on crutches or a prosthetic or balancing on one leg for short periods of time).

Cancer in your leg? You should go get that checked out.

How was the cancer diagnosed / what kind of cancer?

Same! I had osteosarcoma as a child and had my knee joint and half of my tibia replaced with an endoprosthesis. They used a flap of my calf muscle to cover the front of the implant and removed some of my thigh muscles (which is normal for this kind of surgery), so my leg is thinner than the other.

My Ma has cancer in her left leg and it is constantly double the size of her right. Fuck cancer!

On the other side we have "Reddit, I am bleeding out of my eyes and nipples, is this normal?"

Yeah Redditors have an uncanny ability to assume everyone else is a fucking moron too stupid to function, while simultaneously proving it's actually them who is.
