Lymph Nodes

[Guest guest]

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?

Thanks for your help!

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.
