Hi there,

Cancerous lumps are usually hard, painless and immovable. Cysts or fatty lumps etc are usually slightly softer to touch and can move around.

This has come from experience - I found a rubbery, painless moveable lump in my neck which was not cancer. 

Hope this puts your mind at ease somewhat.

Yh thanks I spoke to 111 and they told me the same thing 

Hey. I have a hard, painful but movable lump at the very bottom of my rib is it anything to worry about? 

I have a lump at the sternum, went to A and E, they said I needed further investigation but it was not an emergency.  As it is almost impossible to see the doctor, any ideas?

hello my lump on my  boob is solid and unpainful to the touch however it does move a little what does this mean
