Hi Pollynic. I suggest for peace of mind that you go to your GP and get them to take a look and advise whether you need to see the oncologist sooner. My oncologist always checks my legs. There are lymph nodes all over your body including your legs. NHL is a tricky illness.

My oncologist found a new node enlarged under my arm last week at my checkup. There was no panic but he noted it and told me about it. Nodes can come up and they can go down but the main thing is to be monitored. If the oncologist is concerned, they will most likely send you for a scan but please don't panic, it may be very small and not necessarily a symptom of progression.
