Question: Hi. A week ago, my right axillary lymph node swelled with a red streak. A doctor friend recommend that I see her or her superior and hematologist. The lump with hard with edema and unilateral. A few days later, I noticed a second painless lump in the second axillary lymph node. I sent my doctor a text, and they asked me to come in for an exam. By then, there was no edema, and both lymph nodes had hard fixed lumps. My doctor said that if the lumps became painful or enlarged in the week, I should send a text and come in for a sonogram. They seem to be staying the same. However, this evening while taking a shower, I noticed a third hard lump ( a little bigger) in between the skin on my thigh and the skin of my scrotum. It too is hard and painless. I have a little pain radiating down the inside of my thigh, but it isn't severe. I don't have a fever, but been having pain in my lower back and my lower abdomen (right flank). I also have had a cough for quite awhile (which was confirmed with a chest x-ray -- bronchial inflammation due to chronic cough). When they did the blood work up, liver and kidney functions appeared normal. WBC was abnormal but not too abnormal. No infection detected.

My question is, should I text my doctor about this new lump, or should I wait and watch with the other two. (She recommended a sonogram on the lymph nodes if a change in size / pain occurred or if they were still there after two weeks). My doctor is really busy and I don't was to needlessly bother her.

What is your opinion. Am I worrying too much?
