A member asked:
Cbc bloodwork done 10 days ago. came back normal. found an enlarged node in neck, immobile, a little tender. lymphoma or leukemia, or just infection?

All possible: Not leukemia, though. An isolated inflamed lymph node is commonly reactive to local inflammation, acute or chronic.

Most likely reactive: the majority of the lymph node are reactive. normal CBC even if it was ten days ago support that. the protocol is if the lymph node does not go away alone or with a course of antibiotic for two weeks it might need to be biopsy. the odd definitely are in your favor. good luck
