I was ill 2 weeks ago but feel fine now i have no night sweats or fatigue or any symptoms like cancer. I also have had a sore shoulder whicChatDoctores and goes months at a time but it only hurts at night.
Hello welcome to Chat Doctor In the query you didn't mention your age. Cancerous lymph nodes be never tender.cancerous lymph nodes enlarge in size in due course, and they become matted that is they attach one another. Swollen lymph node above the right collar bone means it is infected.may be from oral cavity. You didn't mention other symptoms. But the presence since 2 months is the odd thing. Consult Pathologist and have FNAC(fine needle aspiration cytology) and the report will tell you the exact diagnosis.Don't worry about the cancer,it is not cancer hope you understand my suggestionThank you Chat Doctor.
