  • Hi there and thanks for the post

    I am sorry to hear about the lump you have on your nose. There could be a number of reasons for this and it is important that you get it assessed by a doctor.

    I appreciate it can be difficult to get a doctors appointment but I would encourage you to persist in contacting your surgery.

    Most symptoms wont be the result of a cancer, however it is important to get any worrying changes checked out, just to be on the safe side.

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Best wishes
