I'm feeling anxious about a hard lump I've noticed in the upper left area of my chest, close to my left breast. It feels almost like a bone or something solid just beneath the skin. Whenever I touch it, I'm reminded of how hard it is, and it's got me pretty worried. Could it be something serious? What might be causing this?

my dad has stage 4 adenocarcinoma colon cancer and is currently doing chemo - i'm wondering about surgery costs and whether surgery would actually be a good option for him at this stage
Stage 4 colon cancer patients may undergo surgery for obstruction or metastasis resection. Costs vary by hospital. Benefit depends on performance status and response to chemo.

I found out I have oral cancer and I'm really confused about whether surgery or chemotherapy would be the better option for me. Can you help me understand which treatment might work best in my case?
Chemotherapy is often used after surgery to kill any cancer cells that remain. Chemotherapy may increase the effectiveness of radiation therapy, so the two treatments are often combined. If the cancer spreads to other parts of the body, chemotherapy can help control it.
