Can A Lump On Knee Cause Cancer?

HI,I have a set of twin grandaughters who are now nearly 6 yrs old. Both have always had bowed legs. My daughter has just informed me today that 1 of the twins has developed a noticeable lump on her knee. She is presently in the hospital and the doctors said it could be cancer. Can you please advise what the next step would be? My daughter lives 12hrs away and I am very worried for all of them. I am so worried. Carol.
