Hi,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.
You should be more concerned about the large tumour. Please undergo a FNAC/Biopsy from the lesion which will give a confirmed diagnosis and will help you in getting further treatment. If it comes out as lymphoma you can consult an oncologist and get radiotherapy/chemotherapy as suitable.
You can continue painkillers for the pain as of now.
17 inches?? If its liver you are talking about it should be 17 cms. 17 inches is not possible. Liver is usually less than 15.5 cms but in some ppl it can increase in size. There's nothing to worry for that as you already have a much bigger problem to deal with. Please get treated for your tumour as early as possible.
Hope it sorts your problem.
