[|Human|] I went to the hospital and they told me I have lymph cancer but sent me home. Days later, now my left arm is numb and I have huge like lump round size of my palm between my left boob and collarbone. It kinda goes into my arm pit. Any idea what that could be? im not to sure if i have a lymph node right there that could be that wide ?
[|AI|]  Hi ! Good morning and wish you a New Year 2014. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. In your history, you have not mentioned the reasons and investigations basing on which your doctor diagnosed you as having a lymph cancer. In case it is a confirmed diagnosis, then the swelling what you have got might be an extension of such problem. Lymph nodes are everywhere in the body, and they can be enlarged due to very many reasons, and cancer is one of those reasons. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of the swelling, and depending on the result might advise you for an MRI scan, or chemotherapy or radiotherapy as the case may be. It is not possible to pinpoint the exact diagnosis without a clinical examination and related investigations. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
