The size is not so important as the type and stage, unless the size is

causing breathing or circulatory problems. But, a chest wall cavity

(pleural space? Lung? Mediastinum?) lymphoma of the size you decribe

seems large. But depending on the type and stage these can be treated

by chemo and reduced.
