Is Lump In The Neck Sign Of Cancer

I've had a lump on my neck that burns for a few months- MRI shows

that it is a swollen lymph node-



I’ve also been going back and forth with Breast MRI's & Mammograms with some

mammary nodes they are watching and also a pulmonary node that was shown on a

chest xray (suggested that I go back in six months- that was a few months ago)

They spotted the pulmonary node when a d-dimer test came back positive-

I had gone in for chest pain.



I also have some swelling/lumps on my left underarm- not painful to

touch put do occasionally get a pinching nerve feeling going down my arm

.

My cause for concern is that my mother has had breast cancer young with some cancerous

lymph nodes removed/mastectomy. My grandmother with pancreatic/bile duct cancer.

My other symptoms have been extreme fatigue and now nausea.





ENT says to follow up in three months or if the lymph node

gets bigger to come back and possible biopsy- (I am concerned on whether this should be done sooner or not?)



I am attaching my blood results-



Recent Meds:

Amlodopine 5mg

Levothyroxine 50 MCG

Metroprolol 25 MG

hi madam, as per ur question, there is enlargement of lymph nodes at various places in ur body like neck and under arms with a suspected pulmonary nodule. the situation seems to be doubtful to me and i think further testes should be done to find out the cause of these masses. if u want to defer the biopsy there is an easy alternate called FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology).
feel free to ask further.
