Could Disk Shaped Lump In The Middle Of Back Be Cancer?

I have a disk shaped lump in the middle of my back next to my spine. It hurts to touch it and its only on one side. I have also been very tired lately and get winded going up the stairs. I have also been have my veins show up more all over my legs and boobs. Do you know what is wrong with me? Could it be cancer?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query and suspicion of a cancer.

The site of back you noted as not the site of any cancer as such.
This can be a lipoma, sebaceous cyst or so.
Get an examination done by a General Surgeon, FNAC or removal for getting rid of the swelling and and to get a histo-pathology diagnosis.

The causes of your loosing weight , showing up of the veins on the body and the boobs, getting tired easily can be due to a general problem like anemia, asthenia, or some medical condition like diabetes or so.

I would advise you to visit a Physician to get an appropriate diagnosis and get treated accordingly after investigations.
