Hi there, I'd really appreciate anyone who could given insight on this.
Recently, I found multiple swollen axillary lymph nodes on my right side. Naturally, I was scared and it triggered my biggest fear of melanoma because I know 2 people whose first symptom was a swollen node in the armpit. Anyway, I had an ultrasound and indeed, many swollen nodes were found. Yet, there were 'non suspicious'. Okay. Good. I stopped worrying. But since then, more have emerged! And I have heard of horror stories where malignant nodes have been mistaken for reactive nodes when being evaluated by ultrasound. Do you think I should request a biopsy? Thanks so much.
