A member asked:
I have a lump in my right arm pit all my test results were normal, is there still a chance it could be cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Especially since you describe it as somewhat tender. At your age, with the node being tender, not preposterously enlarged or fixed to surrounding tissues, and your not having fever, night sweats or weight loss, the chances of this being a cancer are near zero.
