A member asked:

I have several swollen nodes and had a biopsy done under my right arm in january. the results were negative but my dr couldn't tell me why. any ideas?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

They're your friends: Some folks have relatively big lymph nodes and this isn't a risk for future cancer. Period. For the benign ones, usually we never find the cause. Be thankful for good health. The big nodes, including the one that was removed, are there helping you fight infections.
