Just Diagnosed with Cancer? Chat with Experts

In response to:
Susan, I think a cancerous lymph node would probably have gotten larger over the course of six months.  However, I can understand why you are concerned.  You could ask whether a fine needle biopsy could give more information about what this is.  A biopsy might be easier than completely removing the lump.  However, I'm not a doctor, so taking it out completely might be more feasible depending on the location and size.  Keep on asking questions until you are satisfied that this lump has been properly diagnosed.  Most lumps are benign, but you want to be sure.
