What Causes Sharp Pain And Swollen Lymph Nodes In Neck Of A Cancer Patient?

Hi, I have CLL and have had two bone marrow aspirations and know that there is 95% disease in my bone marrow. I was diagnosed in 2006 but have had symtoms over 20 years. I am 57 and have worked in the citrus industry for 20 years and the casino business 14 years. I have a good idea how I got Cll. I recieved immuniglobins every six weeks so that I am able to fight some infections like upper respitory. My question is now my lymh nodes are becoming more swollen in my neck and I am having sharp pain in my right ear canal, I had my infussion over a week ago. I would like to know when I should notify my Oncologyst? My last lymph count was 96. I bounce between 88 and 96. We have discussed Chemo. I would like to know if this would be beneficial or bring me closer to my dimise. He told me that it would be once a month for six months. I am concerned because other family members who chose Chemo only survived a month or two after Chemo, They had melenoma.

Hello,

Enlarging lymph nodes during course of chemotherapy should be notified to your oncologist. Pain in right ear canal could be due to infection in right ear. Enlarging lymph nodes could be due to relapse of CLL.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
