How To Treat Lymph Node Infection?
Hi I'm a 56 year old female who was injured in a serious automobile accident on 4/2/2004. When my truck rolled thr airbag deployed in my chest, and seatbelt cut me across my chest. 7 years later i have a damaged Lymph node system. I have 2 lumps with abnormal cells present after a needle biopsy. I have had lymph node infections since this accident. Are abnormal cells cancer cells, do they have the potential to become cancer. Thank you.
