Brief Answer:
Yes I will explain

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

I understand your concerns.

A lymph node above the collar bone is usually round. It starts the size of a pea and in advanced cases can go up to lemon size.

In the early stage, it moves around and later it becomes immobile. Usually, it's painless in cancer.

Hope this helps.
Regards
