Should It Be A Concern To Find A Painless Lump To The Left Of The Belly Button? Are There Lymph Nodes In This Area?
A year ago had an inguinal lymph node dissection on left side due to painless lump, turned out to be metastatic squamous cell. Three months ago had radical vulvectomy for vulvar cancer plus right side lymph nodes removed (right side was negative for cancer). So yes, found the cancer in left lymph nodes prior to vaginal area. Just found painless lump to left of belly button, doesn't move and is about an inch and a half lower left of belly button. Should I be concerned? Are there lymph nodes in this area? I was on lovenox shots in stomach in November but there is no bruising left and I never got that close to my belly button. Its Sunday and would like to not freak out all day.
