General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

From your history and your GP's opinion, it seems like that you have some kind of benign swellings like lipoma. But with a history of your mother having had cancer, I would suggest you for a biopsy of the lesion. For this,I would suggest you to take appointment with a general surgeon in your area, who after a clinical examination would be able to suggest appropriate management for your problem.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
