I recently had a CT Scan for chest pains after being admitted to Emergency last week. The tests showed up nothing related to the pains(they were
likely to be a virus I was told) however it came back showing enlarged Lymph Nodes under my sternum.
My local GP referred me to a Specialist to be tested for Lymphoma and the likes - however 24 hours later my GP phoned to tell me that the report had been re-read by the head doctor and had been changed. Apparently I have just a soft tissue growth around the same area, quite prominent.

It was mistaken for the enlarged Lymph Nodes. What I am wanting to know is should I seek a second opinion on this? And I am unsure whether
the growth should be looked at - they told me nothing further would happen on this as it was harmless. But being resonably large I'd imagaine it can't be good for me but my GP assures me I have nothing to worry about?? Is there anyway they can tell from the scan and X-rays that this may not be tumourous etc?? Just curious if anyone has experienced something similiar?

Thank!
