Is a single swollen and painful lymph node something to worry about could it be a sign of cancer? And if it is, can they just remove that one lymph node with surgery or do they have to take out more?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Single swollen lymph nodes often resolve with infection. If persistent, hard, or growing, FNAC or biopsy may be required. If cancerous, surgery may need to remove more than just one node.

My whole family has been dealing with a viral cold and flu. Now my mom's got it too, and she's dealing with a blocked nose and body aches. Her PET scan is scheduled for tomorrow to check if the lung tumor and nodules are active. Is it a good idea to take her for the scan while she's feeling like this, or should we think about rescheduling?

Each treatment's effectiveness varies depending on the cancer type, stage, and individual patient factors.
