Re: Weird, weird lump. Do I have anything to worry about?
Hi
im am not a doctor and even if i was without examining you i still wouldnt be able to tell you for sure. I am a nurse and it is my experience and only my experience that cancer does not present this way because of the nature of this website i am not going to go into how it does present as i am not in the buisiness of escalating other peoples anxiety. It does sound like it could be a benign cyst,i suspect if it was an abscess there would be localised inflammation and pain, it could also be a tiny piece of herniated muscle tissue (nothing to worry about) my other half has some of these on his forearms and while they can feel soft and squidgy and look quite big at times they are not painful and nothing to worry about. If your gp really thought it was something to be concerned about she would have have referred you on or taken a biopsy, try and remain calm until you see doc next week. Try and remember that as hard as this is to take there isnt always an explaination for everything, sometimes things just happen to us for no reason particularly as we get older and its very very few lumps and bumps that actually turn out to be terminal cancer, i hope this helps.
