lump on sons shin

Hello, I'm feeling a little paranoid so would like someone to talk to. My son is 1 year old and iv found a pea size hard lump in his shin. It's not visible but i can feel it. He's been really sick over the weekend and when i went to out of hours and waited 6 hours for him to be seen I mentioned the lump. She just said its not red or angry and that was it. But i can still feel it and they are saying hes been violently sick because of a sore ear. i hope im thinking too much into it but i feel worried sick as this wee lump wasnt there before. My dad has cancer and i lost my mum to cancer do this is playing on my mind.

 

Thank you 

  • Hi there ..

    Firstly it could be lots of things that arnt cancer .. and ear ache does make some little ones feel sick, as that's their balance that it effects ...

    Now saying that , I'd make a G P appointment for piece of mind ... all lumps should be looked at .. but remember the chances are on his side .. but esp where you've had cancer touch your life twice ... so you take your baby ... you get it checked ... try not to keep prodding it as if it's something else that can aggravate it and it could swell .. just a gentle touch every so often ... 

    Fingers crossed .. Chrissie xx
