Swollen lymph nodes: Yes if the lymph nodes are related to cancer they will grow granted at what time frame is hard to know. At your age, it is more likely that these are related to an infectious cause but lymphoma can also be of concern. If you are noticing hot flashes/night sweats or any other areas where your lymph nodes are swollen(armpits/groins), you need to share this with your physician.
