Worry again!!

[EmmaJane]

Just when I thought I had a chance to sort myself out, I find myself thinking the worst case scenario AGAIN. I have this fear of cancer and have just got over an anxiety attack for 3 weeks about my health. The doctor gave me a clean bill of health today. I cooked dinner, went for a walk with the dog, felt really good.

I got back about 20 minutes ago and as I walked in my 12 year old son, said he has found a lump on the left side of his groin area. Instantly I thought cancer, death and felt really sick and sweaty.

I couldnt feel it and asked him to show my husband. Apparently, he didnt show him and the outcome is if it gets any bigger, then he will have to go to the doctors.

I have all these thoughts running round in my head now of what the outcomes going to be and what this lump is. They are all major problems and not a simple under skin spot etc to me!!!

This is horrible, I really thought, I could start sorting my head out now, but it just reeling.

Im so glad of this website, I have come straight upstairs to write this and get it off my chest.

Thank you all for reading

Emma,

You're not going to be able to let go of this so why not just book him in to the surgery to get checked out if it is a real lump as opposed to a zit pimple.

He is obviously concerned himself as he told you about it - so for reassurance for you all - get the once over. No need for an emergency appointment but just at everyones convenience.

hello Emma,

It is quite common to have little lumps that are not dangerous at all. I have two on my neck and they are just a build up of cartiledge. I'm sure it's just something similar with your son..
