hard lump on lymphedema arm

deezin

Hi

I just felt a hard pea size hard lump on my elbow on the arm that had most lymph nodes removed with bilateral mastectomy. I am concerned because if I mention it to doctor they will probably want to biopsy it and I am not supposed to have any needles put into that arm. so worried what can happen if it needs to be biopsied.

Has anyone had this happen and not even sure which Dr. to tell my family dr. or Onc. dr.

It is hard and small and of course I did research and it says it could be a cancerous lymph node .....

Thanks

deezin, I'd advise you show it to a doctor so they can evaluate it. If you need a biopsy, you can still be careful with the arm. The most important thing, IMO, is figuring out what the problem is.

Let us know what they say.
