What Could The Lump In Thigh Indicate?

I have a Lump on my leg, i noticed this 2 days ago. I think it may be cancer after looking up on the internet about what the lump looks like and its size. I want to know what symptoms of cancer are as i have been feeling ill (signs of sickness) and also in pain (aching limbs and stomach pains). The lump is on the top of my Right thigh, and my right leg seems to be muscle related but aches continually.

Hi.
This is called a cancerphobia.

The lump which you have noted just 2 days ago is very difficult to be said as a cancer. This looks to me as in infection as per the symptoms you have described.
Consult a Doctor , get a clinical examination and start the treatment as advised by your Doctor to get cured.

The lump you have described is in the upper thigh, so it is most likely to be a lymph node. and an antibiotic cover will get you OK. The stomach pains can be due to an intestinal problems and may be unrelated to the lump you have noted.

I find this answer helpful
