Chest Wall soft tissue tumors?
Sum up- 6 hard lumps on chest wall. Unmovable growing lumps that are becoming tender. I have a chronic cough, shortness of breath and fatigue.Cancer is rampant on both sides of my family. Went to doctor. White blood cell count is fine. Doctor said it was probably Soft tissue tumors (Lipomas) and are probably benign but is sending me to a disease specialist/general surgeon. I looked up lipomas and it said lipomas are moveable and have a softer feel than bone hard. Plus I read lipomas in the Chest Wall are rare and occur more frequently in people ages 40+. And he said that these soft tissue tumors are always benign but thats not what ive read. But my white blood cell count is fine...so isnt it true that if that is ok then i must definitely not have cancer?? But I am worried what this disease doctor is going to tell me. I might have to have surgery because they are growing and so close to my heart. Im so confused and kinda scared. I wish i had the 100% answers right now..ones that make sense, ones with symptoms i fit. I go on tuesday so i guess im alittle hyperanxious. Did anyone go through this? Any ideas? If not maybe some well wishes? Thanks, im just kinda going around in circles right now lol.
