Back pain from liver cancer ?

[Blossom121]

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing super fine . I happened to come across a rubbery not lump, a mass on my last rib on the right side. It goes down when i push it but is a but hard. I have been having intermediate right shoulder and back pain for three months now. Im 19 and terrified I might have liver cancer.

Hi and welcome to the forums!

I understand your concern, and it's always a little scary when you feel something on your body you don't expect.

First, any unusual or newly discovered mass should be reviewed by a doctor.

That said, this is not the typical presentation for liver cancer.. but whatever else it might be? I don't even know. Please see a medical professional to either put your fears to rest, or get you an action plan on what your next steps are. If you live in an area where access to medical care is difficult for transportation and/or financial reasons, let me know your general area and I can help you locate some resources that can help!

Thank you so much for replying ! I've got an appointment scheduled with my gp a week from now. The back pain seems to have subsided a wee bit. Thank you, have an amazing day <33
