Hello. i have been done with Chemo therapy for a month now. i was dianosed with Testicular cancer. Stage 1. My tumor markers are nomal but i still have a lympnode in the abdominal area of the size of 13mm. it has responded to chemo therapy b/c it was larger before i started chemo therapy. my question is how common is and what usually happens in this circumstance? Thanks for your time :)
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Fortunately, testicular dance is one that show rapid regression on radiotherapy and results/prognosis is very good especially in stage 1. Lypmh nodes may be malignant, but in most cases these are just reactively or inflammatory swollen lymph nodes and there is no danger of metastasis. Also, abdominal l.nodes are found enlarged in any other infection, abdomnal or urinary. I am sure that you will recover fast and everything s fine. Wish you good health.
