Suggest Treatment For Swollen Lymph Nodes Under Collarbone
Question: I have 3 swollen lymph nodes under my left collarbone. I am bcra2 positive with a history of breast cancer. Had double mastectomy in 2006. I have had them for about 4 mos. I am going to a general surgeon next week. Do you think that's a good idea?
Brief Answer:
It definitely needs evaluation
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
Yes dear you need to visit your doctor as breast cancer needs proper evaluation of slightest symptoms even after mastectomy.
You should also have a PET scan done to see the nature of the nodes but first consult your doctor and then proceed in a meticulous manner.
