Guest guest Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Hi, all! For those of you talking about lymph nodes/enlarged lymph nodes, does anyone know if the sudden appearance of them is something to be concerned about? I was just told that based on what doctors saw (enlarged/inflamed lymph nodes, lymph nodes where there weren't any before (at least to the best of my understanding), etc., that they are concerned about lymphoma as well as other issues. (I also have an elevated CA 19-9, sed rates are off, high eocinaphil count, etc.). Anyhow, can anyone give me any more information about any of this? First round of biopsies were inconclusive, so they're going in again to do some more this week. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure where the lymph nodes are that they saw. I think I got stumped and developed brain fog amnesia somewhere during the discussion with the doc. Do they only occur around the liver or could they be in my ducts, colon, etc., too?

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Hi Sandi, There are a ton of lymph nodes in the body. I have two that they have declared to meet the criteria for Adenopathy in front of and behind my Portal vein and many other lymph nodes in my abdominal cavity that are swollen but don't meet the criteria for suspicious at this time. My previous MRCP's have never shown enlargement of these nodes. My CEA and CA 19-9 were drawn today. In the past they were normal. I know that you can have enlarged nodes around you colon, lungs, heart and so on. Sorry I cannot be more useful Dawn > > > Hi, all! > > For those of you talking about lymph nodes/enlarged lymph nodes, does anyone know if the sudden appearance of them is something to be concerned about?

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 >Hi, I was just thinking the same thing about the lymph nodes. I had a problem with enlarged nodes on one side of my neck since October, and it grows and retreats, although now it isn't as bad as it was before. I feel fine, otherwise, though. My ENT told me today that my last CAT scan looked normal, but last week the node was swollen. Now, it isn't. I don't know what to make of it, but she just says it's nothing, just a random swollen lymph node. Not good enough. Never had this problem before, so why now. Thinking of changing ENTs. Wonder if it has something to do with white blood cells, my GI says that one of my white blood cells are acting up. I feel pretty much kay, though. I don't know if this is helpful to you, if only for the fact that you are not the only one dealing with it. > > Hi, all! > > For those of you talking about lymph nodes/enlarged lymph nodes, does anyone know if the sudden appearance of them is something to be concerned about?
