Doc, what is lymphoma? A year ago, I felt a pain in my chest, and went to the ER. The doctor said it was something called anterior chest (need to check the spelling), and asked that I follow up with my doctor. Later, I received a letter from the ER saying that there was a node that showed up on the chest x-ray. I took that letter to my doctor as well. I pointed out to him that I still feel a hard bump a bit to the right of my sternum. He felt it and said that it could have been there for a while. My doctor requested that I have a CT scan, which I did. He called later with the result that there was no node. Today, I still have the pain, and still feel the hard bump. Due to retrenchment, I had lost my job, and so, did not have medical insurance. I have medical insurance again now, and would like to seek medical attention for my issue. Can you tell me the type of specialist that I should see? Thank you.
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some soft tissue tumor or other tumor in chest.  You should go for biopsy.  It is the best diagnostic modality for lump. It will give you exact diagnosis.  Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
