I have recently discovered a lump on my chest. I am a man so I didn't think much of it. Is it possible for guys to have cancer of the chest? Should I talk to someone or maybe a doctor? please help. This type of cancer has happened to my grandma and a few other relatives.

Well it depends where in the chest. I remember when I was about 14 I found a lump around my nipple and I went to the doctor. The doctor had told me this is common in boy who havent gone through puberty or there is a imbalance of hormones. Said that when I was born I had too much estrogen in me and as soon as I hit puberty and my testosterone levels go up then it would go away. Now that I feel in that area the lump is gone. But I wouldnt ignore something like that. Go to a doctor before it is too late because its better to find something when it is just starting. It will be easier to remove or cure. The longer you wait the worst it can become.
