Lumps are usually painless !. !. but not always !. !. it depends on their location and the type of cancer !. !. but usually they are hard, painless, and most importantly seem to be growing!. Tumors can be tiny (around 1-2cm) when detected or they can be enormous (my son had multiple tumors, some over 21cm) !. !. !. they can grow slowly or extremely fast !. !. you will not know if you are dealing with a benign or malignant tumor so it is always best to be examined by a doctor and if in any doubt insist on biopsy to determine status!. I would never leave any type of cyst, tumor, or unknown fatty lump in the body !. !. if possible have it removed or at least closely monitored for any type of cancerous activity!. (My son died because he was considered too healthy and too young and his cancer to be too rare for him to ever get it !. !. !. !. it wasn't until he had multiple tumors, some the size of a volley ball that anyone knew he had cancer!.) Don't wait!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A few years ago I had a cyst removed from my breast!. I was convinced it was cancer but the specialist told me that a cancer is very hard, like a little stone in the breast!. It doesn't usually hurt!.
My advice to you is that most lumps in the body are not cancerous, they are usually cysts or fatty lumps, but we do tend to worry ourselves stupid over them (well I do anyway!)!.

If you have a lump anywhere in your body that concerns you then go to the dr!. The chances of it being cancer are tiny but at least you will be able to stop worrying!.
Good luck hun xWww@Answer-Health@Com

let me tell you, it is very hard and lumpy, sometimes it can be temder to touch, and the lump does not move it stays as is until it spreads!. you can also get lumps that are just cyts and they are not hard but are very sore when they happen sometimes but most cyts go away!. In my case my ovary is paifull sometimes, hard lump in the groin area of the lympnodes and solid!. I have OVCA!. each person is differnet!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

its just a hard lump under the skin
it could be any size , very small or very large
and cancer lumps dont normally move !.!. for example if you touch the area of the lump and you feel it move around the chances are its a cyst !.!. if it is a stiff lump !.!. then you need to get a full check upWww@Answer-Health@Com
