Impossible, I know,but try not to panic. Although your enlarged lymph node might be responding to a metastatic disease, it could also be many other things. Lymph nodes swell in response to infections, and it might just go away. Your ca125 is still within normal range. Take transfer factors, echinacea, or something to boost your immune system, and eat well, exercise and rest, and with luck it will go away, and if it doesn't you are giving your system the best chance of containing and dealing with the cause and any treatment that you might need.
I would want to have my blood tested 2 weekly to monitor any rise - but that's just me. I hope you get good news very soon.
Hi I also have just been told I have enlarged aortacava lymph gland. My ca 125 has also gone from 34 to 67....also having re-scan and ca 125 in December. Best thing not to worry and enjoy time from now until then....do as many positive things as possible....easy to say I know...good luck and keep in touch!
