Are Prominent Lymph Nodes At The Sternum A Sign Of Cancer?
I was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2006 and the surgeon removed my right lung and now about 1 and a half months ago I had a heart attack and spent two weeks in cardiac ward.. While there they discovered several limp nods through my sternum.. they are very concerned .. did biopsy .. now talking about radiation treatment... does this mean cancer or a concern it may turn cancerus

Hi,
The most common symptom, if cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, is that they feel hard or swollen. You might have any of the following symptoms if your cancer has spread to the lymph nodes: a lump or swelling under your armpit. Else, a lump or swelling in your breast bone or collar bone area.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
