Is It Cancerous To Have A Lump On The Upper Chest Area?

hello, my girlfriend and i were horsing around when she slipped and fell and hit her upper chest area on the edge of the sofa. This occurred about a week ago, there is a bruise but now we both noticed a lump on her right upper chest the bruise is now red in center and yellow and blue on outer area.I am very concerned she thinks right away may be cancer, now i am terrified. we are going to the hospital tomorrow after she is done working just like to know any answer other than thinking it is cancer.

thank you,

hi
with your description i can assure you there is not much to worry about .since, with everything occured after fall the most likely diagnosis is a simple bruise and not at all cancer.
my advice would be ice fomentation with ibuprofen for few days. better be careful next time while horsing around.feel free to contact me anytime and many time.
