Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Large fibroids can undergo degeneration. Usually, the lymph node enlargement is not associated with fibroids, rather lymph nodes are enlarged in infection or any cancerous lesions.
I would suggest you to consult an oncologist prior to undergoing hysterectomy, as you may need intraoperative frozen section of the respected tissue to detect any cancerous cells, and the surgery should be completed accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
