 I can answer questions about the correct guideline for treatment of a certain type of cancer to achieve good results. I can analyse signs and symptoms to identify cancer.

 My wife passed away August of 2002 after we were married for just over a year and a half. She was diagnosed with Lymphoma Cancer a week to the day after we wed. Please limit questions to this particular cancer, and I can pretty much find resources for you if you are having problems finding what you need. I can also offer advice on how to deal with the emotional strains and things along this line. In all, I can be an ear when you need someone to listen, or a shoulder to lean or cry on. I CAN NOT ANSWER DOCTOR QUESTIONS ABOUT CONDITIONS OR SUCH AS I AM NOT A DOCTOR. I am only knowledgeable in the basics of the cancer (especially lymphoma) and what to expect and other questions like this.

 I know a great deal about all aspect of testicular cancer. I am a testicular cancer survivor, and have run a testicular cancer website since 1996. If I do not know the answer to a question, I have access to a number of my own world-class experts to get the correct answer. Please note that I am not an expert when it comes to other cancers. If your question involves something other than testicular cancer or a cancer of that general region, please ask another expert.

 I am a fully trained radiation oncologist and can answer many questions about cancer and its treatment. I can't answer questions about specific chemotherapy agents. I have also worked in general medicine and emergency medicine, so I can give advice about these areas as well. I would like to do this based on my very positive experience with one of your experts (real estate).

My suspicion is that you are talking about a lipoma.  Other possibilities in that part of your body might include a small node under the skin, or a sebacious cyst.  I strongly doubt it is cancer.  I might
