See your doc: I always tell folks, "don't get excited till you have something to get excited about." a lump found by a massage therapist isn't anything to get excited about. However, you need to see your doc to have this thing properly evaluated. This will likely include imaging and a biopsy. However, at the end you should know whether to worry or not.

Only a little: Unusual for bladder cancer to spread to the soft tissue, most likely a subq lipoma or sebaceous cyst, though given your history of bladder cancer should have it seen by a physician.
