Lump on collarbone

Hi All,

   Just looking for any info from anyone affected from the same.

  Noticed a lump just above the collarbone but feels attached to it. Had a chest X-ray which showed large lymph node in the neck and lung.

   Then had a CT scan which didn't seem to concern them but was referred to get a ultrasound and biopsy of the lump on collarbone, now had the dreaded call to say it is cancerous and have been book in for a endoscopy (if it's spelt like that lol) to have a look at stomach. 
Just wondered if anyone has been through the same and and what was the outcome. 
thanks

Mick

  • Hello Mickip and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sorry to hear that your lump is cancerous. No doubt you are contending with a lot of thoughts and feelings at the moment but I'm glad you've joined us as many members will understand what you're going through, so I'm sure you will receive some support from them and get to hear about their experiences soon.

    If you'd like to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, they're just a phone call away on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    In the meantime, I hope your endoscopy goes well and nothing cancerous is found in your stomach.

    Kind regards,

    Hi Mick 

     

    Sorry to hear about your results. I am currently experiencing the same and awaiting my CT scan. 
     

    could I ask if your lump was hard or soft? Mine feels compleatly solid almost as if it's part of my bone.

     

    hope your everything goes okay from here on.

     

    thanks

    Hi Lols,

    My lump is quite hard and right on the collarbone, the original lump has shrunk but another one larger appeared next to it.

    Good luck with your scan and hopefully it's nothing to worry about as lymph nodes can enlarge for many reasons. Let me know how it goes.

     Thanks 

    Mick
