Large Lump on Rib below Left Breast

[yhaque]

I have a large lump on my rib that is right below my left breast. It is not in my breast but below my breast.I had a tumor removed a year ago in my right breast, which was benign, but this is strange. It is very large and very distinctive. Can you have a tumor on your rib and not in your breast that might be Breast cancer and what do you think it can be. It just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

Hi you posted "My husband has a lump on his ribs about three inches long. It is just below the left breast. It is tender to the touch and when he stretches his left arm up it causes him pain. He has a doctor appointment on Thursday.  I just hate that every time you find something like that you have to be scared to death of what it is.  Hope it's nothing and can then we can breathe again. "

Did he find out what he had? I have the same symptoms and i have a dr apt tomorrow,  can you reply to me so I have a better understanding of what to ask the dr

thanks

I have all of these symptoms as well, except my lump is on my side about 2 inches from my left breast on my rib.  I have dull pain on my left side starting from my neck, shoulder and breast area and have noticed that I have had an upset stomach for the past couple of months with loose bowel movements daily.  I am an ex-smoker and I am TERRIFIED I have lung cancer, how stupid could I have been to be a smoker.  I am 35 and have two girls ages 2 and 5 and am so scared I cry myself to sleep that I have caused this myself, guilt is eating me alive.  Our symptoms seem to be similar to lymphoma, but now that I have read Jumac67`s post my fears have intensified.  I have a doctors appointment on Thursday and to be quite honest I am terrified and am scared to hear what it is or could be.

I have the same issue und er me left breast and armpit. Sometimes it's irritated and a little swollen. It is almost a achy feeling but occasionally it is a sharp pain. When it's around the time of my menstrual cycle I acts up worse. The strange tight feeling sometimes goes all the way down my left side near the abdomen area and my shoulder blade. I'm 23 and terrified of doctors. Is really like to know to results from your doctors visit. I know I should go I'm just terrified.

I can relate to the exact same thing as we speak.  I pray it is not cancer.  I am so afraid.
