Hello
Thanks for query
Multiple hard ,painless ,non mobile, small lumps or swelling in different part of body ,mainly it groin and in the biceps muscles of young person ,is generally either due to multiple neuromyo fibromatosis or neurofiromatosis or some times lymph nodes .As neurofibroma are painless,size varies from person to person & place to place ,mostly benign causes a great cosmetic & psychological attention. Lymph nodes are generally soft ,not hard ,except in one condition , multiple neuromyo fibromatosis or neurofiromatosis can be familial .
FNAC or Excision biopsy of one lump may give more help to find the real cause & plan for management. I do not think you should worry about cancer at this stage, it is far from the being a possibility.
Hope I have answered your question well to your satisfaction. Wish you speedy complete recovery at the earliest.

Hello,
Good to hear from you again.
A small grain size lump in the white of eye (i.e.sclera), which don`t hurt, but produces or causes pupils of different size.
Generally such small grain size nodules or lumps in white part of eye are harmless. But as you have pupils of different size, that to for the last three weeks, opinion & evaluation from an eye specialist is better option & idea.
For Multiple hard, painless, non mobile, small lumps or swelling in different parts of body, mainly groin and the arm of young person needs FNAC or excision biopsy of one nodule to reach final diagnosis. There is no harm in biopsy, as it will make the final diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query.
Wish you a Good Health.

hi thanks i must ask if cancer had spread to my groin, arms and my eyes or brain would it most likely show something wrong on a cbc blood test cause i've had this done and all came back normal. i only ask cause my doctor is on holidays till monday, which i have already set an appointment for.
Hello
Nice to see you again
Without confirmed report of FNAC or biopsy it is always premature to say or talk any thing about cancer.Cause in such nodules can only be settled by FNAC or biopsy.
There is no harm waiting for your doctor or his appointment till Monday,as it is not going to alter diagnosis,treatment or prognosis.
cbc or blood test is not going to be of any help.
