Specializes in Medical Oncology

Can't say: There is not enough info to give any concrete recommendation other than: if you have a knot, nodule, or mass, especially if growing, visit your family doc and let him/her decide on the next step. Probably nothing bad but you can't tell.

Dr Ferdowsi and another doctor agreed
