Please see below for the answers you are seeking and have already received. At this point, my advice to you would be to tackle what's really happening. Your obsessing over something that, as FMP said, is a non-issue. You've even had a doctor tell you that. It's time to take a few deep breaths and challenge these thoughts when they come.

I asked myself one day, "What if I actually don't have cancer? What if I'm not really dying? Then surely I'm alive and should be living."
Not a doctor or a psychologist, just a guy who's been to a lot of them.
Not quite sure what made him think it's a non-issue. The doctor told me not to worry but didn't say why, just felt it and said one side is indeed bigger but she didn't recommend any course of action. Maybe its just me being weird and having catastrophic thoughts.
What are you doing to treat your real illness?

Well, I am on medication which do work but sometimes I get these episodes. I try to say to myself, like for this case, that it is very unilikey that it's a bone tumour, it's a rare site for it to happen and there is no family history of any cancer, especially at a young age. But it's hard to when you get an episode and look for information and realise that there is still a chance that it could be something bad.
For years I had it bad with my lymph nodes, but that got better fairly quickly after I found more people, on here and elsewhere, that had similar or even the same symptoms I was having. I'm hoping that someone here is maybe familiar with this aswell. The spot on the affected bone sticks out maybe around 2-3 mm further than the same spot on the right bone. This wouldn't be concern to you or anyone else here?

Can I ask why you wouldn't be concerned about it? Information like this can indeed help.

If it helps make you feel better, I’m pretty sure my bones are asymmetrical and one sticks out or is a little more pointy than the other. As much as my lymph nodes scare the crap out of me, this actually doesn’t because I can tell it’s just a bone.
