How Are Tumors In Chest Detected?
Hello, my names Becky, Im 24yrs old, 5ft6, healthy, active 11stone,
Im really concerned as for the last couple of months, i've got an odd feeling (feels like something is growing?), in my chest (upper, left side), i can't feel anything when i try and look, only my ribs..but when i breathe in i sometimes get a strange feeling..in the same area...i don't think its pyscological, because i can really feel something and its been going on for a while, but my young uncle died from a tumour last year(skin cancer in his chest wall), and my mum had a lung tumour? Im training to be a paediatric nurse and don't want to seem like im being overreactive going to the docs, but what do you think i should do?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and let me tell you that stop thinking in that way else you would be come under the more panic attack, because this is just your bizarre idea that there is something growing in your chest and this might be due to your some family history, better forget it and be happy, have a nice day.
