Suggest Treatment For Swollen Lymph Node In The Armpit

I have stage one ovarian cancer and have been recovering from surgery (removal of the tumor and right ovary) we are working on getting my horomones back to normal. I noticed the lymph nodes in my left armpit are swollen. I m due to get my period in the next week or so. Should I be worried?

Hello
While this may not be anything serious, with your history of cancer you need to have a doctor check this out to
1) Determine whether or not the lymph nodes are abnormal, and,
2) If they are, to determine if they are a sign of metastatic cancer
