I am really stressed today _ I discovered a lump in my groin last night.  I've never actually felt a lump before throughout all my treatment.  I did have 2 lymph nodes show on the MRI but there was no lump.  Is this a really bad sign?   I also seem to have developed vaginal thrush _ could this cause a swollen lymph node?   And I've anal itch.    It's just the one lymph node.  Unfortunately since my treatment I've had two other unrelated illness and only in the last two weeks had I felt I was getting back on my feet so to say this has upset me is an understatement. Anyone had a swollen lymph node in groin that didnt turn out to be bad news?

    sorry

    Sorry to hear you have new concerns.  While I have not been through this, wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you.  Have you contacted your physician?  Any news?

    I am so sorry you have this new concern. I wonder if the swollen lymph node is just doing what its supposed to do in filtering out bacteria from what may be a yeast infection or something of that nature. If things aren't getting better its always best to error on the side of caution and get it checked out. I do hope you find this is something easily managed and are feeling better soon.

    I found this and thought it may be of interest:

    This is worthy of getting

    This is worthy of getting checked out.   Hopefully it will turn out to be nothing, but make an appointment to get it checked out.  I am wishing the best for  you.
