Doctor's including Oncologist said those nodes are insignificant as it's there since 3yrs. a week before I found one more node supraclavicular region and generall surgeondoctor asked for us but radiolgist couldn't find any node in supracalvicular region..& other junior radiolgist said there is a subcentimeter node which is of no worry as everyone I'll have it So been to oncologist and he said no significant LN Palpable in supracalvicular region and that can be a lymphnode & a muscle. That supracalvicular lump is easily moving under skin and when I push it's going down ..does muscle has the same characterstis.. God grace,still I don't have any symptoms etc.. My question,Is it normal to have asymptomatic & insignificant LN in supracalvicular region and do I have to worry about these nodes..
