Multiple enlarged axilla lymph nodes (largest is 2cm) normal chest xray.high wbc. high absolute neutropolis.high lymphocytes. lymphoma cancer?

Not necessarily: There are many things this could be. A normal CXR is good. A high WBC with large lymph nodes can also be an infection. Your doctor will do some tests to try to rule that out first. If those tests do not reveal a diagnosis your MD may recommend removal of the largest lymph node. A needle biopsy is usually not sufficient to diagnose certain conditions. Best wishes.

Dont assume cancer: never make assumptions regarding cancer...you are right to be concerned and you should pursue further work-up...this will include a history and complete exam with possible further x-rays....the enlarged nodes could represent infection and not cancer...be prepared for biopsy to make final diagnosis
