A member asked:
Abd ct showed lymph nodes in right lower quad largest at 1.2 cm. should this be followed up? my dr is putting me on prednisone but scared of side eff

Yes this should be f: Yet it is best to follow it up with a repeat ct scan in 6-8 weeks. I would avoid using any steroids without knowing what is causing the enlarged lymph nodes. Starting Prednisone will only muddy waters and confuse future diagnosis making completely!. I would suggest that you seek a second opinion. No steroids without a biopsy proof of some disease or another(?Lymphoma?).
