Do I Have to Undergo An Operation? Am Scared Please Help! Posted: 07-28-05 03:08am
Hi, I had this lump on my shoulder since I
was in high school it's getting bigger and
harder maybe an inch in diameter. I'm
scared of needles and operations I just
want to ask if there is another way to
cure this lump without being cut out or
operated? Please help!!!

Your have given few details. For
instance, is your lump hard or
soft?...When you move your hand above it,
do you feel it moving from its place or
not? How fast is it growing? These
things are very important. Your lump may
be many things. One of them is a lipoma
which is a benign tumor of fatty tissue.
But it may be cancer as well.
You should go to the doctor as soon as
possible. Try to overcome your fear and
talk to the doctor about this fear, it is
the doctor's responsibility to make you
feel comfortable. And I am telling you to
go as soon as possible because if it is
cancer it must be removed quickly, before
it spreads around. As well as if it is a
benign tumor, there are certain benign
tumors that may turn into a cancer.
So better get over your fear than risk
your life. Good luck.
