Lump on right Side of back just below ribs

I've recently found a lump on the right side just below my ribs. I went to the doctors and he's sending me for a scan. He said it's quite big it goes under my ribs. I'm so scared I'm thinking of the worst. Could this be anything else?

  • Hi Kerry and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sorry about the lump you've found but going to your doctor to get it checked was the right thing to do.

    Waiting for tests can be scary but you're not alone as many of our members have been in similar situations and hopefully they will be along soon to offer their support and advice.

    I think our minds have a tendency to think the worse when we're not sure what we're dealing with but hopefully the scan will show the lump isn't anything sinister.

    Kind regards,
