Hello Louise and thanks for your post

I'm afraid we are unable to diagnose or tell anyone if anything is the matter. Lumps can have straightforward medical explanations, such as infection. Cancer would be very rare in someone of your young age. The majority of people affected by cancer are usually over 60.

But only a doctor can make a medical assessment so the best thing to do is to go back and see your GP if you are still worried to get checked out just to be on the safe side.

Because of the current pandemic, it’s more likely you will be offered a telephone appointment initially with your doctor. After the consultation, if they feel they need to see you, they can offer you a face to face appointment.

I hope you know more about your situation soon. 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.

Kind regards,

Celene

Did you ever find out what this was? I have something that sounds similar in butt cheek and Im a bit worried.

Hello there

I am sorry you have a lump in your buttock that is worrying you.

I'm afraid cancer chat cannot diagnose you or say what the matter may be.

Lumps and bumps anywhere in the body are common and most will be harmless but if they are new and don't go away or get worse it is always best to get them checked out by a doctor just to be on the safe side.

Arrange an appointment with your GP when you can and hopefully they can put your mind at ease.

Take care

Naomi
