Just Diagnosed with Cancer? Chat with Experts

Thursday, November 18, 2010 DJ asks

Q: I was diagnosed with a B12 deficiency about a month ago. I have been taking megadoses of B12 but I am still feeling exhausted and run dow. I now noticed swollen glands under my arms. What is going on?

Mono was ruled out and my red blood cell count was low as well. I was losing weight but that has stopped. I am still having low fevers and sweating though. My father died of Hodgkins. Is it possible that at 48 and female, I could have that as well?

Hi DJ - This is a breast cancer site, run by breast cancer survivors. We're well-read, but have no formal medical training, thus we're unable to help you with your general (non-breast cancer) medical questions. I'd suggest you see a doctor about this, OK? Good luck, and i hope you feel better soon - PJH

Sorry for the intrusion but when typing "Swollen Under arm Nodes" into Google, this is where it led me. Apparently, it could be a sign of Breast Cancer as well and other things. Just looking for any and all options at this point.

 

I go back to the Dr. on 12/7 and will definatley mention the swollen underarm nodes.
