Shingles and Lump
by curiousinAZ, Oct 22, 2005 12:00AM
I am a 23 year old and my doctor told me I have a breakout of Shingles on my back. Three days after these showed up I found a lump on the side of my breast. My doctor said this could possibly just be an enlarged lymph node due to the Shingles. He also told me that Shingles can also appear because of cancer, and if I had any change in my health that I needed to come back in before my follow-up in 2 weeks. What symptoms should I be looking for? Does this sound like something that I should be concerned about?

I must also add that I haven't had any stress in my life lately and I was getting a pretty good nights sleep when these broke out which my doctor told me could also cause these.
