Question about wax and wane

[springie]

Hi All,

I've been enjoying a nice remission for about 2 years. Now I have a cluster of swollen nodes in my neck and a strange large cluster of nodes in my groin. This set of nodes grew pretty quickly, but they're now beating a retreat. They grewtobout 6 1/2 cm in length and the whole looked like a fat cylinder. Now they're down to about 5cm in length and shrinking.

This had happened before, where all palpable nodes disappeared, and came back in full and identically placed about 2 weeks later.

Anybody know about this waxing and waning?

Have you discussed this with your CLL doctor, so they can assess the situation? How long has this been going on for?

I see a general oncologist that I began seeing in Jan. of 2014. He simply told me that waxing and waning was normal for CLL/SLL. I'll see him again soon. I do worry that he won't believe me, but at least I have ultrasound tests that prove my story!
