    Hi there ..

    Sorry but no one here can diagnose you, as wer not medically qualified.... the only one who can is your G P ... but he could only send you for tests , but it just could be o.k .. but till you see your Dr, you won't know .. and any lump is worth looking into .. though most lumps are o.k ..

    Have you told your mum or dad ... I'm sure they will tell you the same .. but dont keep it to your self ...  let us know how it goes ...  Chrissie   .....

    You've had this for a while and if it hasn't grown or caused you any problems I wouldn't worry too much but so you can forget all about it, I would visit your GP to get it checked.

    You are very young to be worrying about cancer. Is there a reason for this? Has someone close to you had a cancer diagnosis to start the worrying?

    Good luck
