Hello and welcome to HCM.
Thank you for your query.
Reactive hyperplasia does not mean it is cancer. It is best to wait and watch in such cases, as there is no confirmation of a threat as yet. I would advise you go about regular follow ups with your doctor and monitoring of the lymphs.
I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications. I would gladly help you.
Best wishes.
