If you have concerns about this you really should be seen by your physician.





Some people just have large nodes, but there's always the possibility something else is going on. It's better to get tested and know you're ok than not. Plus, if something is going on, the sooner it's identified and treatment is started, the better the chances of recovery.
Reply:Anything's possible. If you are concerned, please go to the doctor.


Good luck.

(the National Cancer Institute)


You can also check out Medline and/or Medline Plus, which is very good for finding our accurate information about diseases and/or medical conditions.

Reply:It could be a slow growing, or indolent type. There are lots of reasons why lymph nodes swell. Your best bet is to get it checked out and don't stop pressing the doctors until you get some solid answers. Here's the site with the best disease info:

Mine was an aggressive type so it became obvious very quickly.


Best wishes to you.
