Hi James, 

I'm sorry to read about the symptoms you've been experiencing lately. Although trying to figure out what may be wrong via Google may seem like a good idea at the time, it can actually cause a lot of undue stress and worry as you're finding out so do try and resist doing that if you can.

Seeing a doctor about this would be the best course of action as they will be able to examine you and let you know if there is anything to be concerned about so do try speaking to your parents again and emphasise the impact this is having on you and how much seeing a doctor would help you at this time.

I can see you posted on the forum back in January and got some helpful advice from one of our nurses so I'm just going to link to it again so you can remember how to find NHS walk-in centres you can attend without a prior appointment.

I hope this helps James and that your symptoms improve soon.

Kind regards, 

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator

omg the same thing has happened to me do you still have it?

Yhyh, I do, apparently lumbs on the skull don’t show through if they were brain tumours, I asked my mum to feel she couldn’t feel anything, same with my dad, same with my mates, it’s weird but apparently it’s just your skull changing, especially if you’re my age 16

I have exactly.the same but.one of.mine is above my forehead and its huge

Hi Louise 

I have a lump on the right side of my head first time I found out about it I was doing my hair and felt it I was scared I still haven't got it checked out because I'm scared

Have you had it checked?

I'm currently experiencing this? Any recommendations?

Many thanks

I'm 14 I've found a lump on my head nearly towards t back of my head but I feel like it's always been there I'm not sure but it just like a little lump but its quite lengthy is it Normal 

Hi I've got a hard lump on the right hand side that feels like it's inside my skull that becomes big.when it swells up I get bad migraines & when the lump stops swelling the pain goes.

All the right hand side of my head is painful
