Swollen paraaortic lymph nodes

6 Replies

I have been stage 0 for 8 years. This year I developed pneumonia and months later a severe rash in my face and stomach. I was tested by a dermatoligist with prednisone and some cream and after three weeks it went away.

I have been experiencing stomach pain for one month. My GP referred me for an uktrasound . The report states I have multiple pariaritic lymph nodes, the largest measuring 3.9 x 2.6 x 3.0 . I am seeing my oncologist in three weeks.

I am scheduled to go overseas in early February for three month.

What will happen next?

This was very similar to my situation, you will likely be sent for a CTscan...

You don't mention any other factors, like the rate of CLL progression, so its impossible to know, how far you are along...

I decided to go away. My first appointment is June 3. It’s just fir an assessment. I am wondering if you would like to share how you are going. The PAN have grown an extra 2 cm in 5 months.

Hi Mamouchi. I also have PAN and am stage 4 SLL (it’s all in my nodes). Last July they were about 9 cm and as of March they were almost 12 cm. My local hem/onc thought it was time to treat and I agree but I’m waiting for a second opinion with my specialist mid June. I was initially feeling a lot of angst but now I’m just trying to remember that there’s rarely anything acute about CLL/SLL. I’m often uncomfortable and tired but I still get through my days pretty well.
