2 types of cancer?

Hi,

I seem to have a bump in my stomach,I can feel a long line when I press down on the left lower side of my stomach,its a diagonal kind of line that goes from my hip down to the lowest part of my stomach,I don't feel pain,only when there is gas then I fell a little pain as if it would burst. I doubt this is cancer but what else could it be?
Normally I just have a strange feeling in this area as if there were something there but no pain. And also the left side of my chest is higher than the other,could that be cancer? When I breathe into a ballon it hurts a little on the left side of my chest and sometimes I feel a sharp pain on my heart are. Im too scared to go to the doctors and have them say "you have cancer and you are going to die" as I dont want to hear that,what could these be? Pleas help,this is starting to destroy my life.

Hi!

Well I dont think it is any of these,since it has been there a quite a long time. It doesn't grow at all but it anoyys me I'm too scared to go to the doctor and have them say that I'm going to die.

And do I have cancer in my chest because my left chest is higher than the right chest,but there is no pain.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Your symptoms are hardly suggestive of cancer. The symptoms go more in favor of acidity, GERD, hiatal hernia or even IBS. It could also be due to gas. Increase fiber and fluids in your diet and see if it helps. Also take an antacid gel and Omeprazole and see.
Hope this helps. Do let me know if there is any thing else and keep me posted. Take care!

could be something like an ulcer too, go to the doc if you have an answer you at least know what your up against.

My friend, I do not think you have any choice BUT to see a doctor. Have you ever smoked? If you have you need to consult a doctor. If you still do, you need to quit immediately. Your condition sounds very serious and could get worse over time. I am sure you will not die and they can remove your cancer/tumor. But the longer you wait, the higher the risk is that you could die.
