What Does My CT Scan Report Indicate?

Posted on Tue, 22 Aug 2017

Question: Hi there i am 29 year old female, slender build, heathly, and feel one lymph node is larger on the right side of my neck. I did have ct scan of chest/abdomen and palvis done not neck and a CBC and chest xray all came back normal beacuse i was experiencing pain in my shoulder and coller bone and neck couple weeks ago. i fear lymohoma and pushed for tests done. Well now a week later i can feel this slighly larger node on the right side of my neck that i can feel more then the left side. I fear cancer! Could this be cancer or would one of my tests show somthing? Even though i have not had any tests done on my neck. ( i did have a slight cold a week ago, also a bee sting on my righy arm that swelled up pretty bad)

Brief Answer:
Hello. Biopsy will tell the answer

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. It is difficult to comment upon any swelling without a clinical examination. I would advise you to get it examined and if required a biopsy can be done to look for its nature. Lymphoma nides are usually painless and rubber like in consistency.
Thanks and regards
