She says it s marble size, painful when she touches it and is mobile and marble size. I always freak out because I ve had two cancers myself. I know it can be many things, but my mind goes to the worse case scenario. She will see a patient first (type) facility tomorrow. Your thoughts....

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello and welcome to Healthcamagic.
Usually people get worried about such things but there is no reason for it since in most cases this is just subconsciously placed lesions such as ateroma,fibroma or enlarged lymph node. She should just have frequent ultrasound follow ups and that's it.
I hope I have answered your query. I wish you a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
