What Does The Lymph Nodes On My Chest Indicate?
Hello I had CT scan last month on my abdomen, pelvic & chest last month. Was told on Monday I have swelling in my abdomen and lymph nodes on my chest. Now I have to get a 2nd CT scan with contrast .. Does this mean I have cancer ? By the way I had the whipple procedure 8 months ago for a benign tumor.

Hello
Welcome to the HealthcareMagic
For lump in abdomen and enlarged lymph node further investigation needed in form of biopsy to reach up to exact diagnosis. In histopathology examination from biopsy it will be clear whether lesion is Benign or malignant.
Take care
Hope this solves your concern
Provide me your CT scan report to comment further
