Sternum lump

Hiya I am 30years old. Ongoing issues passed three months with doctors saying it's gastritis. Waiting an endoscopy. I noticed after I opened my bowels lump was just belowy tail end of sternum and when I felt it, it disappeared. Opened bowels again and no lump. Does it sound like a hernia to you? Can't notice any lump now but if it was stomach cancer would I be able to feel a lump in my tummy?

 

hope someone can help 

  • Hi Alison and welcome to the forum.

    Unfortunately no-one here can tell you what this is but hopefully it won't be long before you can have your endoscopy and find out more.

    I'm not sure how much you know about this procedure but if you'd like to know what to expect when the time comes then just click here.

    All the best,
