<s>[INST] I have a lump(size of golf ball) its between both color bones in the lower part of my neck, been growing since 06 when i first discovered it. I took xrays as a tech everyday for 7 years and not much protected was used! If ive had this lump for over 6 years it couldnt be cancer/lymphoma? [/INST] Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have enlarged lymph node due to tuberculosis or lymphoma.  Or you may have metastatic carcinoma. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health. </s>
