Painless Lump Under Chest. Is It A Cancer?
Under my chest, directly above my stomach, just as the two meet I guess, so 'in the middle', is a lump. You can't really tell the lump is there unless I stretch slightly, or stick my chest out, and run my hand over, but its definitely easy to feel then..
It doesn't really hurt... I mean, I can feel that it's there. I'm sort of congested, I get that feeling, in a way, actually. When say, any pressure is put on it, it doesn't HURT, but you know, its not painless.. like simply my cat stepping on my chest in that area causes discomfort.
I'm not so sure.. could this be cancer? Somebody said it might be a fluid sack that bulit up from the last time I was sick? I've had it since I was sick this time in February.. and its still there. I don't believe its grown any.
If anyone has any sort of idea what this could be.. please reply

Dear,
you have extra abdominal lump. it may be benign or malignant. if it is there for long duration and is not increasing in size it might be non cancerous and you can forget it if it is not bothering you. if it is changing size and bothers you , you should consult your doctor who will examine you and advise proper course of action,
Truly.
