Do I have cancer on my stomach?

[milkyt566]

Hi!

I'm a bit worried that I could possibly have cancer. Let me explain. I have a long lump that starts from the upper part of my pelvis ( I think it starts from the pelvis,although I'm not 100% sure) and goes down to the lower part of the pelvis. This lump is located on the left side of my stomach. I don't have pain in it. I only have pain in it when I have to go pee,or when my muscles hurt from excersise,or when I have gas in my stomach and it also hurts if I press down on it hard otherwise it does not hurt. When I don't toutch it I can sort of just "feel" it there and it bothers me a little. Let me say I'm only 14 years old and I'm scared to go and say it to anybody as I don't want anybody to tell me that I am going to die. It is starting to bother me a little. While I doubt this is cancer I am still worried a little. Thanks, by the way i'm male.

Hi,

Geezlouize75 is right this is something you need to tell your parents about.

The outcome of any condition can be greatly affected by how long you wait to have it treated.  If you wait long enough even something like a hernia can become really serious when it doesn't have to be.  Why would you want that?

Approach your parents and very casually say, what do you think this is?  I would bet that your parents will  feel really good  knowing  that you looked to them when you have a problem.

You should talk with your parents and I am sure they will take you to the appropriate doctor.  Things like this should not be kept to yourself.  Your parents would want you to discuss this with them. Being a parent myself, how can a parent know a child is having medical problems unless the child tells them?  Good Luck and Please tell your parents.
