Leukemia and lymphoma?


with leukemia or lymphoma are the swollen lymph nodes movable when pressed?

I've heard that with certain types of leukemia it can cause swollen lymph nodes.

I don't remember them moving. I have leukemia. I don't even remember them being big or anything.

As far as I know, a leukemia patient wont have swollen lymph nodes unless it is due to an infection, which is normal in everyone.

I actually do have a swollen lynph node in my under arm right now and it is due to an infection. It is sore, and does 'sorta' move.

I have NH Lymphoma....the nodes that were on the back of my neck would move when pressed......they are gone now, since the first time I did chemo.
Can't help you if someone with leukemia would have this happen.....

Yes. Leukemias may have swollen lymph nodes also. Just like lymphomas. These lymph nodes are movable if the subcutaneous tissues surrounding them are very loose or has a lot of fat. So that will depend on the area of the body involved, not just because it's leukemia or lymphoma.
