Hi,
I found a tiny lump in my stomach near my belly button 2 weeks ago. Went to the docs and he said it was a fatty cyst, nothing to worry about.
Anyway, went back to docs again today as I can feel it when I bend sometimes like a `pinch`. It`s making me so worried. :weep: I can`t concentrate, I feel so depressed, my kids finish for the holidays in a couple of weeks and I can`t think about days out!
My doc knows how I worry so he`s suggested I have it removed with a local anaesthetic at the hospital. I`m scared, they`ll test it as I know they have to. Then I`ll be scared they`ll find something.
Please, I need to know everything`s OK.
Tanya :weep:
You are fine.
Ask yourself this question:
Exactly how will getting stressed about this benefit you or change the outcome?
Answer it honestly.
Then relax because you can't change anything by worrying.

Hi Skippy,
I guess deep down I know I am fine, but it`s always that doubt of the outcome? Like my friend said to me earlier - the doc told you it was a fatty cyst so stop worrying!
It`s only the size of a pea! I`ve has an ovarian cyst the size of a rugby ball and that was fine!

Yeh I know, I`ve got a thing about `lumps` now though ever since the ovarian cyst nearly 5 years ago!! I think to myself - it shouldn`t be there so get it out!!
I`m just hoping my hospital appointment won`t take long. Then I guess I`ll have to have an appointment first before they take it out!!
Ho hum!
just think how amazing the people who have been diagnosed with cancer in the last few weeks would feel if they had been told they only had a fatty lump!!! this should help you to keep it in perspective. i personally would not want to risk a general anasthetic/infection risk etc to remove something so tiny and benign!

The thing is it does actually pinch when I bend forward sometimes and it`s annoying. I`ve only got to have a local anaesthetic to have it removed so I`m not worried about that.
If I couldn`t feel it pinching I would leave it alone.

i'd probably have it done too then if its only a local x
