Hard lump

Hi all I'm a 30 year old male and I've had a hard bony lump on my sternum. Like I said I've had it a while but recently it's started to hurt. To touch breathing ect. I went to the hospital to see if they new anything. The doctor said he would like to give me a scan because it shouldn't be giving me any discomfort. But he can't that's down to my GP. I've tried numerous times to get in to see my gp but the earliest I can get get is 5th December. I just want a bit of piece of mind and not for my wife and daughter to be worrying that's all. I mite sound a bit of a wimp but it's got me thinking a lately. Any ideas on what it could be. Many thanks Tom x

  • Hi Tom,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. Unfortunately no one here can really advise on what it could be - it's only your doctor who can do that. I would suggest making the appointment if you haven't already and getting it checked out. 5th December is not too far away and an extra few days won't make a difference.

    In the meantime if you'd like to discuss anything with our nurses, you can reach them on 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    Wishing you all the best,
