Hey Nick-
I'm 21 and JUST (like 2 weeks ago) went through something very similar- I had a tumor on my left thigh. I know how ya feel, it's weird when somthin like this happens to you- makes ya feel kinda powerless.
In my case, they cut it out, sent it off to the lab (after showing me first of course =) and it came up as being nothing. Keep your chin up, I'm sure it will be fine, but I know it's scarry as hell.
Best of luck to ya.

i let out the biggest sigh of relief you could imagine. you know that feeling you get when you lose your car keys and then you finally find them just in time? yeah, multiply that by 1000.

***UPDATE***

its benign. thank god. i will be having surgery to remove it in 1 week. this has kind of made me realize how lucky i am. thanks to all for the positive replies and support.

That's great news Nick :thumbsup:
