How to know if i'm sick with cancer, or is it just a lymph node that never returned to normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MD: You need to see a doctor. Nodes can get enlarged for many reasons but if they stay enlarged for a long time they should be evaluated. Visit your doc who will decide the course of action. Best to you.
