Reactive: These are reactive lymph nodes likely from some prior viral infection. At 21 your likelihood for lymphoma is 1 in 100,000. Lymph nodes that are consistent with lymphoma are typically spongy. Lower your incidence of cancer and lymphoma by eating right, getting enough sleep, reduce stress and stay away from substances. Remember to exercise! This moves the lymph through the lymph nodes.

My doctor told me that my lymph nodes feel fine. I have pea sized nodes in my neck, jaw and other locations. I've had them for 3 years without change and I've no symptoms of lymphoma. Why are these nodes feelable? Is it just because Im slim?
