LBSer - I'm confused as to why you posted. It looks like you are looking to find some free diagnosis. The treatment can only follow whatever diagnosis you have, thus the suggestions of the people to see a doctor. I am doubtful that you can find someone to consult for free. The best you could do is ask for a payment arrangement, or put it on a credit card. At the same time, you claim you don't want to "hear" the diagnosis. Maybe you should start a blog instead, if you are just venting?

If you are posting this on a public forum, you are inviting people to post their reactions and opinions on the topic. If you can't handle what people might say, then please don't post anything at all. No need to get worked up.

I thought it was pretty silly too that you'll come and cry about how you "know" you have cancer and yet you are unwilling to do anything about it. Sounds like a cry for attention or sympathy or both.

You wait all these years and suddenly decide to post a very dramatic statement online about dying? Look, if it is cancer, you have surely harmed yourself. But it's probably nothing more than a fatty tissue deposit. But only a doctor can diagnose this. You have ignored it for 8-10 years. Sorry, but it's really hard to be compassionate about someone who acts so foolish. Go to the doctor and end the drama.

Go ... to ... a ... doctor!

And, why, oh why, didn't you get a second opinion? They're not all the same.
And, why, oh why, do you not have insurance if you've been thinking you have cancer all these years?

"i am also afraid that they will verify my hunch. i would rather be living with ignorance of what this lump is while i still feel okay anyway."

- I understand the fear. But, do you really want to live in ignorance? I don't know what you hope to gain from people here, but I haven't seen any MDs answer and I doubt that one would other than to say: Go to a doctor! The emergency room has to take you without insurance, I believe. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please. Throw a visit on a credit card. Ask in advance for a payment plan. Try to get some low level insurance before you go. They'll take blood and whatnot, but you don't have to tell them about the lump. Get a diagnosis and look into alternative therapies if you have to. Nobody here is going to be able to put your mind to rest.

Good luck!

fine then. i guess i will be the one doing the ignore of the posts that for me are uncalled for. my main purpose is maybe someone will give me idea on what the best insurance to take. i dont believe in insurance thats why i dont have it. i think insurance is the biggest scam ever. i know i should go to the doctor but i was disillusioned by what the doctor told me 8-10 yrs ago.

and i am scared to hear the diagnosis in fact. it would be like a death sentence. i honestly im scared and confused and posters who tend to say i want attention makes me regret that i posted my situation.

and i dont need sympathy from strangers.. i dont even want sympathy from my own family.

if the uncalled for comments does not stop i will request for this thread to be closed even deleted.

i dont wanna deal with nonsense posts. spare me.

but i wanna thank the "few" who give REAL advice and not unsolicited nonsensical ones.

Sounds like it could be a hernia. I have one, right below my breasts, above my stomach, in the center.
