Good to hear!
It's amazing how scared you can get. At a normal doc checkup he found a node in my armpit, but said that even a small cut on the hand could cause it and to come back and get it checked later. From then until when I got it checked again, everytime I felt a little wierd anywhere, i though it was cancer spreading...
It was nothing though, so all good! _________ I've got a new hobby!

Guys, just because lymph nodes are swollen doesn't mean you have cancer. Otherwise doctors would rely on it solely for detecting cancer. Lymphs release white blood cells so when one is swollen, it's workin'! You're probably fighting off an infection or germs invading the body badly. That's what a doc told me. I ocassionally have one swollen, but I have allergies.
