My oldest son was freaking out last night because he found a small lump under his chest skin.... he’s freaking out and asking if it could be cancer...

I think my poor health (which isn’t cancer) has my poor kid on the fence about every thing medically with himself. No - he isn’t a hypochondriac- it just when something is out of place he worries about what it could possibly be.


I made an apt with his pediatrician because he needs to relax and sleep... what ever that little lump is hopefully it can be dissolved or removed without a problem.


Any suggestions on what I can tell him in the meantime so he stops freaking out?
