Hi, I have found 2 lumps above my right collarbone at the bottom of my neck and also another lump at the top of my chest where my collarbone is. My daughter has recently been diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. I am 33 yrs old. Is this something I need to be concerned about? Thank u.
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have enlarged cervical lymph nodes. It can be due to reactive hyperplasia of lymph node, tuberculosis, lymphoma or metastatic carcinoma. However mostly it is due to reactive hyperplasia due to infection. You should go for examination, and you should take a course of antibiotics. If it doesn't respond to treatment then biopsy diagnosis is advisable. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Don't worry about acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It presents with very high blood count and many blast cells in blood and easily diagnosed by routine complete blood count test. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
