Movable Node On Collarbone, Puffiness. History Of Breast Cancer. Need Dental Work
I know I need a lot of dental work, swollen gums , broken tooth etc. however I have a small movable node on my left collarbone and the area is puffy. I am also a 12 year bilateral breast cancer survivor. I am trying to decide if The selling could be from the dental problems or if I need to see the oncologist . I have no insurance and can not afford to see both. The collarbone has been this way for about 8 months. Never mind didn t know there was a cost. :(

The movable node/lump on your collar bone should not be neglected in view of the history of bilateral breast cancer. It cuold be because of dental problem but still i suggest that first you consult your oncologist who treated you for breast cancer. He may perform a FNAC/biopsy beside other relevant tests to arrive at a diagnosis.
