You go get a checkup where you review your past and current history, travel history, get an exam and testing. Mono can be verified by simple blood tests. Oher triggers to lymph node swelling are reviewed and confirmed or excluded. Cancer would be a rare finding but such a conclusion would require tests.

It is not a do it yourself issue. You should see your doctor who can carry out the appropriate evaluation and tests for a proper diagnosis. Wish you good health!
