Hi and welcome to HCM, thanks for the query.
at this point you should not be worried since most such findings are not indicating malignancy. enlarged lymoh nodes can be found in healthy people or as as reaction to any systemic infection. You need just regular follow up and thats all. Wish you good health.Regards
