A member asked:
Lymph nodes was swollen in neck, now they have shrunk a little bit, so considering they have shrunk does this rule out cancers like lymphoma?

Healthy Immunity: Swollen lymph nodes are a sign of health, not a sign of disease. They are doing their job. They fight off infections all day long, even when you do not know you have been exposed to something. You do not have Lymphoma. You have a normal healthy immune system.
