Suggest Treatment For Lymphoma On The Back

Hi! I am very much worried with the lump on my back at the left side. I went to the General Practitioner and he said there s nothing to worry because it s just a Lymphoma. Now I am trying to research online and it makes me worried because there is a possibility that it will become malignant. What shall I do?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
hi.

it is best if you consult with a general surgeon to have that lump clinically evaluated if it is indeed a lymphoma. further diagnostic examinations such as imaging and tissue diagnosis (biopsy) may be recommended. a referral to an oncologist will be done if it is indeed lymphoma for chemotherapy.

hope this helps.

good day!!
