swollen lymphs in chest

During a CT of Abdomen the lymph nodes in chest were noted to be swollen.  They did this test x2.  I am now scheduled for a chest CT to verify swelling.  My current MD stated it was indicative of cancer.  Help??? is there anything else it could mean?  I have chest CT Monday.  Would appreciate any input possible

I have so much pain from so many other medical issues it is hard to seperate it.  (I am really not crazy)  I really have not had any pain in my chest significantly.  Only regular, distressing pain has been under R breast, pretty consistent.  I just have to wait till Monday to get chest CT then wait for MD's call.  My family has had a long hx of cancer but not lung cancer or chest.  Alot of breast cancer but mamograms all neg.  Whatever is going on was not present 1 year ago and has increased significantly in just the last month.  (I got my copy of abdomen ct scan)  Will try google.  Thanks for all the information.
