Unusual Lump

Unusual Lump

My husband is 47 and was recently diagnosed with colon cancer.  He is undergoing chemotherapy and will be finished with his treatments after this next week.  He had a restructure of his colon and it fortunately did not require a coloscopy.  He had 1 lymph node out of 14 that was infected.

My question regards a small, hard moveable lump that was found on his penis.  I know this sounds strange and he is going to see his doctor but everytime some type of "possible sympton" appears I get extremely anxious.  Is this something we should be alarmed about?  I have felt lumps at health seminars that are supposed to be similar to the lumps you feel in your breast and this lump he has feels just like it.

I hope you can ease my worry but if not I would sure like to know what it could possibly be other than a tumor.

Thanks for your response.

It's probably a sebaceous cyst - harmless. Happens when a sweat gland gets clogged. They can be removed easily
