Suggest Treatment For Lumps In Abdominal Area
My 55 yr old husband discovered three lumps in his abdominal area. He went to the doctor today but was seen by a nurse practitioner who told him he had abdominal cysts and has ordered an ultrasound for next Monday. I am worried that it could be cancerous as his father had colon cancer at about the same age. I can find nothing online about abdominal cysts except ovarian nothing regarding men. He apparently discovered this a while ago but said nothing until yesterday and he states it is painful at times. He has had a history of hernias though these lumps are several inches below the waistline. Should we wait a week?
