I feel fine – nothing weird.I don’t know – how likely is it that it’s cancer? I remember it being there 3 years ago!Would cancer have made its mark in the course of these three years? Would there be noticeable symptoms in 3 years time?I’m seeing the doctor next week.

Does having a lump on your neck mean cancer, or am I just being paranoid over a vital organ?

Q: I’ve noticed this lump on the lower right side of my neck from a few days back. Yes, I’ve been terribly bored over the last month, so it might have been there from a very long time. Anyway – the lump isn’t there on the left side of my neck. It’s not very big and isn’t causing me any pain either. I’m 15, which means the chance of me getting cancer are very small, at least from what I’ve heard.I’m not feeling any symptoms, are there any?Could it be cancer, or am I poking a vital gland or something? I dropped biology at the earliest possible opportunity, so please help me out on this – I’m completely clueless.

A: You can get cancer at 15. The problem is that no one can really tell you if what you have is cancer or not just based on your description. Lumps and bumps that are unusual need to physically examined by a doctor and even then no one can tell for sure unless a biopsy is taken.When my son was 17 he had a painless lump on the side of his neck too. He had a biopsy and they found that it was metastatic cancer that had traveled through his lympatic system from his abdomen. He had multiple tumors throughout the abdominal cavity.Go see a doctor.
