So I have this lump dead center in my chest... What could it be? Because it's growing and I automatically assume tumor. But the worst case isn't always the case. I think its grown just a tiny bit in the last year. You can't see it but you can feel it. It's down beyond my skin... I should get it checked just in case.

So other than disease, what might this thing be? It's got me all concerned and it's probably nothing...

Well how large is the lump? I have had two that lasted a few months and were large, but not enormus.

Like smaller than the diameter of a pen if you where to look at the top of the cylinder.

I'm not sure, but even if it's nothing, you should go and look it up! (:

No one here are doctors, so we cant diagnose you, just go to the doctor, just to be on the safe side

I'm not asking you to diagnose me. Just wondered if anyone might know what else it COULD be. Sorry, I have to use caps on mobile because I can't use italics.

Probably a cyst. Normally they're nothing to worry about and can disappear by themselves; I actually have one on my arm that I've had for years. Although it's still a good idea to see your GP to make sure it's not something more sinister.

Get it cheaked out, it is probally nothing, might just be one of those things. But a Doc can put your mind at rest and that will be better for you, as you won't stress about it.

Id def have a Dr check it out. Better safe than sorry... If its nothing then your good... if it is something then you caught it early. Good Luck !

Well I haven gone in yet to get things checked out. But I keep hearing that it's most likely a cyst. So that's what im hoping for. But sometimes it hurts to breathe in my left lung... So that kinda scares me.

Get it Cheaked Out, no one here can say if it is a Cyst or not. I strongly advise you to get it cheaked out :)
