Do I have cancer?

I noticed a lump in my leg.

 

Should I get it checked?

Re: Do I have cancer?

Hi @Elephant, how are you doing today?

 

If you notice anything new such as a lump, you should discuss it with your GP. A lump doesn't always mean cancer, it could simply be something like a cyst but it is always best to get it checked out.
