Accepted Answer

Hard to say....: The natural history of hodgkin disease is difficult to know. Lymph nodes can enlarge quite rapidly, though not at fast as certain other lymphomas (for example t-cell). It is almost impossible to say how long it takes for lymph nodes to become enlarged, because we  don't go looking for microscopic disease at the beginning when a patient has no symptoms. Good treatments exist. I wish you well.
