Hello Mary! I have 3 questions:

1-

What is the significance of my ANA pattern changing from homogenous to cytoplasmic?

2-

I have recently been told My APS and UCTD are in remission. I am feeling great with the exception that I have had bilateral swollen axillary lymph nodes since July. My cbc is normal. I show no inflammation in my esr and crp. I have no fatigue and no fever, bowel movements are normal. My mammogram, breast ultrasound and mri are all normal. My cologuard screening is normal. I had a negative skin cancer exam. I was checked for oral cancer by my dentist. I saw my gp, then I saw my Hematologist/Oncologist. They are suggesting it is my autoimmune causing the swollen lymph nodes.

Does APS or UCTD cause persistent swollen axillary lymph nodes?

Are there any cancers that are associated with APS or UCTD that I should be screened for?

Should there be more urgency in finding the cause of my swollen lymph nodes?

3-

I have read that covid19 can reactivate Shingles and EBV. Could the Moderna vaccine reactivate either Shingles or EBV causing bilateral swollen axillary lymph nodes?

Thank you!!!!

Goody, I must watch it, I was in the middle of nowhere with no phone reception most of the time and certainly no internet! Back to reality now. MaryF
