A member asked:
I have a couple of 6mm lymp nodes and my mchc came back low on my blood test. does one have to do with the other? i also had thyroid cancer last year.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cannot say: cannot say in your particular case, but generally, 6mm lymph nodes are not necessarily significant. MCHC low implies low iron, but can be wtih a chronic disease (active or recovering from cancer, among many many others). BUt could also theoretically be the beginning of a return of the cancer.
