You can not see the lump visually so Im not sure how a picture would help.It can only be felt.It sometimes takes me a minute to find it.It is in the upper right side of my abdomen about 3-4 inches below my breast.I do know I have a hiatal hernia but was told this has nothing to do with the hiatal hernia..Could it be a fatty nodule or something?

Brief Answer:
Could just be a fatty deposit or tissue!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this follow up.

This is most likely a fatty deposits. I though they were big and that was the reason why you were seeking help. Of the dimensions you have mentioned and the difficulty to locate them when you try to, please be relaxed about this. There is no major reasons to be concerned about this.

For now, monitor only and only seek help if it grows bigger or becomes hurting. Otherwise, there is no major worry for now.

I wish you well.

Thank you...As I said in the first inquiry,it does hurt a little when I cough or turn a certain way.From what I understand cancer does not hurt.I will probably have it checked anyway.Hoping just a fatty deposit.
