Does a lymphoma swollen lymph node move around when you touch it?

ALL lymph nodes move around. They roll in all four directions (back, forth, and side to side) as opposed to veins or muscles that just move in two directions. You can only feel a lymph node when it's swollen. Lymph nodes can become swollen any time you have an infection. If you are sick, or have recently been sick, that's probably what it's from. If you haven't been sick, I would go to a doc and have it checked.

They may move around a little bit but I dont belive they move around very much. They can be swollen for a nummber of reasons they can be fighting disease or an infection so you should go to our physicain and have him/her check it out for themslves if you can.
Reply:I had Hodgkin's Disease (a very curable type of lymphoma) as a teen. Some of my infected lymph nodes moved around, others didn't.





Lymph nodes can swell for lots of reasons that aren't cancer. Lymph nodes are designed to catch germs, infection, etc., so having them swollen doesn't necessarily mean anything is wrong. They're just doing their job.





That said, you should take your concerns seriously. Rather than self-diagnosing, SEE A DOCTOR. This website is not the place to seek medical advice, especially when your concern is something that could (but probably isn't) life threatening.





GO TO A DOCTOR.
