    Relax- they would have seen a tumor on

    The chest X-ray as clear as dat! Especially if it was as big as you think it is. I understand your phobia of cancer, but don't let it control you.

    Hi Charlie,

    I have the same thing! at the top of my chest on the right hand side i have a hard, bone like lump. I went to have mine x-rayed and it was nothing, it actually just feels like a bone that's a bit of a weird shape lol. X ray would've picked anything up as It said so there is no need to worry. I looked back on pictures from years ago and i could actually see the lump in photos i had been in years and years previously, so id always had it but as soon as i noticed it i was convinced it was life threatening. But its still there now and is no problem.

     The chest x-ray would have shown a mass.  If it was clear then you have no reason to worry about a tumor,  especially a big one like you mentioned. . This is actually very common thing to have.  Sometimes even a misaligned back  or poor posture can cause this. Our bodies are not perfect and some people just happen to have bones that stick out more . 

     you are overthinking this and don't Google symptoms because they don't pertain to your specific situation. You'll scare yourself for no reason. 

     x-rays don't lie. They found nothing so you do not have a tumor. Don't waste your time with needless worry. You are young, healthy, go enjoy your life. You're allowing your mind to go to the negative. You're choosing that .  Choose to believe the test you had that was normal .  That is the proof that everything is OK. Negative thinking has no proof and is not based on fact. 

     you will be fine!
