Please help! my boyfriend was told he swallon lympth nodes under his rib cage after having chemo whats going to happen would he die ?

Lymph: if he had chemo for cancer then the presence of lymph nodes after treatment may be significant but do not mean he is going to die. I think it is important for you to speak to his oncologist with him to determine his prognosis
