I had a double mastectomy 11 years ago this december. I underwent 6 months of chemo. I had a breast MRI done which showed enlarged lymph nodes. I am now scheduled for a PET scan. The docs called for all of my pre surgery mamograms, ultrasounds as well as the MRI's I have had over the past 10 1/2 years. I have been experiencing extreem fatigue and sweats. I just want to find out so I can deal with whatever it is.

Q: What are the symptoms of lymph node cancer?

I'm sorry you're having to go through this - it sounds like you're in the midst of testing now, which can be a stressful process. Multiple enlarged nodes, with accompanying fatigue and sweats, sounds like an infection to me. Seems if they were really suspecting cancer, they'd order a biopsy, right? So take heart - the vast majority of lumps in the breast and underarms are NOT cancer; hopefully you'll remain on the "right" side of those statistics. Good luck - PJH
