I have noticed this a couple of years ago or so: I felt a lump on my left side of my abdomen. It is a couple inches higher than my belly button and about 8 inches over. I thought it might just be a fat deposit, cyst, calcium deposit, small hernia. Its about the size of a marble (maybe? might be over analyzing it). It is tender to touch and when pressed it has slight pain. If that isn't bad enough, I noticed another lump In the same exact location but on the opposite side of my abdomen. It is about the same size and also tender to touch with slight pain when pressed. Update: I noticed another bump about 4-5 inches further than the prior bumps, once again, this one has a matching counterpart on the opposite side of my body. It is weird that both sets of bumps are perfectly symmetrical with my body.
I'm convinced these are swollen lymph nodes from cancer.
I need your thoughts. I have a doctors appointment set up for this Friday (3/23/2018) but I'm just looking for opinions until then.
