Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had swollen lymph nodes in my axilliary area for two yrs and I never really stopped to think about it. I went for a mommo and sono of the breasts yesterday and the sono tech advised me to get this looked at very soon. I saw my dr. today and she did a very thorough exam. She stated that I also have swollen nodes in my neck, abdomen, chest, and groin areas. Also some of the nodes were hard and deep. The radiologist that read all my reports yesterday said that both my mammo and sono were normal. I do not have an STD or HIV. I am scared and I was wondering if there were some not so serious reason s why this is occuring.
