Does this sound/look like lymphoma, or am I panicking?

[haylee9312]

I have a very large 'nodule' on my sternum. I also have a previously diagnosed (in 2011) thyroid nodule. I was originally diagnosed and treated for Graves' disease in 2011 and quit treatment (due to being broke) in 2013. A couple of months ago, I noticed that my sternum felt uneven... One side was way taller and lumpier than the other. It is not visible though. If I flex my stomach muscles, you can see another (maybe the same, but I hadn't noticed until I became concerned with my sternum nodule) underneath my ribs on the right side. It is VERY large. I am usually tired, I get full after eating very small portions (like maybe a quarter of a sandwich) when a few months ago, I could put back a whole pizza. Please help. I'm nervous and my dr hasn't been much help. Already had X-rays that came back normal, and he said come back in 6 months, but I REALLY REALLY think something is wrong

Hi, is the bump between the sternum and the skin? There wouldn't be a node there.
Are they soft? Check into "lipoma" and see if that matches what you feel in either place.
Your chest x-ray probably would have seen any tumor.

"but I REALLY REALLY think something is wrong"
That's often something that shouldn't be ignored. I'd ask on the Graves' forum if Graves can cause bumps under the skin. I think that can happen on the back or shins?

Good luck.
