with leukemia or lymphoma are the swollen lymph nodes movable when pressed?
Leukemia and lymphoma?
I don't remember them moving. I have leukemia. I don't even remember them being big or anything.
Reply:As far as I know, a leukemia patient wont have swollen lymph nodes unless it is due to an infection, which is normal in everyone.
I actually do have a swollen lynph node in my under arm right now and it is due to an infection. It is sore, and does 'sorta' move.
Reply:I have NH Lymphoma....the nodes that were on the back of my neck would move when pressed......they are gone now, since the first time I did chemo.
Can't help you if someone with leukemia would have this happen.....
Reply:Yes. Leukemias may have swollen lymph nodes also. Just like lymphomas. These lymph nodes are movable if the subcutaneous tissues surrounding them are very loose or has a lot of fat. So that will depend on the area of the body involved, not just because it's leukemia or lymphoma.
