"I think i've got cancer i need help and advise"

i have a lump under my nipple it feels bruised and has been ther for 5 days what could it be?

do you think its serious enough to go to the doctors?

I'm goin to doctors tomorow i'll tell you the results

I have had this mate, I was worried about cancer as well. I left it for a while and then I finally plucked up the corouge (sp?) To confront my mother about this.

"Its nothing but I will get your uncle to have a look at it"

"ok" Said I.

Luckely for me my Uncle is a doctor, He came over, checked me out and said it was nothing. I am so glad I did this.

Get it checked out mate. Its the best advise any of us could give you.

Yeah, it should do. Get it checked anyway, even if it is this.

My Nan was diagnosed with cancer four weeks ago - Two weeks later she was in hospital, had the operation and now she is at home getting on with life just as before. It was important to get it over with as quickly as possible - My advise would be go see a doctor as soon as you can!!

I spent six months of my life worrying about cancer because I didn't talk to anyone about it... I'm still not sure if it was a good or bad thing, but congratulations on making the first step. It's not just a matter of catching it quickly... but it's mental pressures too. Not nice.

And anyway, doctors take a lot of time. You'll walk in there, and they'll say "We'll get back to you for a scan in three weeks...". So you really want to get going as quickly as possible, before it really starts to set on your mind.

I've had the same thing and it just seems to slowly go down after a while

Dont worry, it happens at the start of puberty and can be painful if you press. It's under the nipple. It will go, though it depnds what time u started puberty...

How old are you by the way? This could help. Do not worry, if you're a teenager, this is common - it's just a sign of puberty - your body is getting bigger, you're just widening out.

I think my mate had this, actually he did. He saw the doctor and they said it was fine, it has now gone. But still go and see your Doctor.

So does it come from puberty and did yours feel like a bruised ball?
