  • Welcome to Cancer Chat, Deborah.

    I'm sorry to hear that you found a lump that is causing you to be concerned.

    If you haven't phoned your GP yet to have it checked, perhaps it's a good idea to do so the next time you have a chance as they're the only ones who can evaluate you properly. Most of times lumps and bumps mean nothing serious but if you're worried it's always best to check with a medical professional.

    With best wishes,
