What Does A Lump On Wrist Indicate?

I went thru breast cancer lumpetomy on my right side, chemo, my own bone marrow transplant and radiation in 1999/2000. So far all check ups have been good. A little pre-skin cancer here and there. Two to three weeks ago soon after a biopsy and freezing an area on my finger I noticed a lump on my wrist near where my pulse is taken on my left hand. This is about the size of a small marble and very hard. It is only tender around the area after I have felt around the area, it does not move or wiggle and seems to be right on the bone. Would this be a volar wrist ganglion? Is this something I should be concerned about because of my history? If it is something I need to have checked what type of doctor should a consult since everyone seems to be a specialist any more.

Hi,Good Evening.Thanks for the query to HCM.I studied it in depth and I understood your health concerns.
-Treatment-for Recurring-lump on the left-wrist-
1-Wrist lump you have is mostly the-Ganglion on the volar aspect of the wrist/ or could be a Sesmoid Bone of the tendons over the radius of the wrist .
2-For this you need to consult a Ortho-paedic Surgeon- who would diagnose this wrist lump by Xry Wrist.
Hope this would help you a lot to relieve from your wrist lump.
Wish you fast recovery-and healthy life.
Wellcome to HCM with more queries till you are satisfied.
Have a Good Day...!!
