Lump in bowels

I have had a "lump" in my bowels for a few years - it is not a hard lump that you can feel from the ourside, but I can feel a swelling when I am on the toilet !!

I had a bowel scope screening, last month and my "passage" was clear and healthy - but they only go up to the first bend

I was wondering whether - the fact that my lower bowel was healthy - means that the lump was something else (ie muscular) - or is it possible for cancer to be in my upper bowel with no sign in the lower bowel ?

    Where do you feel the lump? If you feel it in your lower bowels/rectum, the sigmoidoscopy you had would've found it. What did your doctor say?
