I'm getting pretty nervous

I noticed a tiny nodule bump under my skin (you can't see it though) in my tummy area, last year. It was tiny and like in the muscle wall. My sister had one, a lipoma of sorts, it was benign. I didn't feel it again for months and it didn't have that twinge of pain like at first. Well now, many months later, it is hurting off and on. I am going to call up to get an ultrasound/Xray but I am also pretty nervous :( I am hoping that it is what my sister had, b/c it is so close to the muscle wall, and it feels like a cyst that hurts when you touch it. What if it is not benign though?? I have had such an awful life, filled with abuse and anxiety and suffering, and never had a true love. My life is going through my eyes right now thinking WHat IF? I have so many years left I want to push past my PTSD and fears.... it is just really weighing on me right now.

Your feelings are totally understandable and it’s easy for me to say, but try not to panic. The odds are very good that it’s a non-life threatening situation. Hopefully you can get the tests done quickly so you can put your mind at ease.

@OlderSometimesWiser Thank you so much. I didn't call right away b/c then I never felt it for several months. And my sister was like, it's just like mine, and hers was just removed/benign. But now the What if's are swarming me.. ughhh. I truly hope it is ok. I guess after many months I might also have symptoms of cancer too- like tiredness or sometimes people get fu like symptoms. Luckily I do not have symptoms, that is the only thing that is helping me right now not get SUPER nervous :( Ty again my friend. 🌷

🫂I hope everything is ok it's probably nothing to worry about.

@JoyfulSilence my doctor wanted me to do one of those but going to UPS with it...just couldn't do it. I asked her if it came with a ribbon that I could tie around the box which gave her a good laugh

Instead I went with the colonoscapy recently which came out well

I’ll pray for you.

I'm sorry. It's probably health anxiety. I'm dealing with something similar. Hoping for the best. Health stuff is a lot more nerve wracking when you're feeling vulnerable.

Did you see your doctor about it first? Sometimes they can tell just by looking at it without doing tests.
