What Could Cause A Lump On The Left Leg?
Had left neck dissection in March for thyroid cancer that spread to my lymph nodes. 6 days ago I noticed a lump on the left neck, halfway between collarbone and ear, almost in the middle from front to back. Its under the skin. 5 days ago I started taking antbiotics for bronchitis which I have had since the end of May. Could this just be my lymph nodes (of what I have left) working extra hard to get rid of the bronchitis, or could this be something of more concern?

Hi
The lump could be an indication of cancer.
I would advise a biopsy test to rule out malignancy.
