and has been 'cancer free' for 2 years.
Answer:
You do not give very much information. Do you suspect that the cancer has returned? This is really a question you need to ask his oncologist. With his history it is possible that this is a relapse, but this is something that his doctor needs to be discussing with him. I assume that this was caught on his three or six month checkup? This situation is exactly why the doctor orders a CT to check and see if the cancer is in remission or has relapsed. Hopefully, if it turns out to be a relapse they can treat it faster. Good luck. It's possible too that this is an infection or nothing to be alarmed about. Call your doctor before it drives you nuts.
You should wait and talk to the doctors about what was found.
Ask your doctor, not folks on Yahoo!
i don't know but i pray for the best for you. if it's what you're thinking, i hope it's confined to just that lymph node and he has an early diagnosis.
you need to ask the doc not yahoo. most of us are not in the medical field!
Maybe not cancer free anymore. What did the doctor say?
my grandma had brain cancer and lung cancer and they found an enlarged lymph node and it was the cancer spreading and once it hits your nodes it can ravel anywhere and im not saying thats what it is that is just the experience i had
The lymph nodes show your body is not balanced if they are large..they get large when there is infections and poisons in the body and tries to clean out the bad stuff...he needs to do a deep cleaning and drink lots of fresh water...
it is possiable (spread of cancer) metastasis , go through clinical investigation hope for good

It means you need to get in touch with his Doctor and find out for sure what is going on. We here on YA aren't going to be able to give you sound medical advice. All I can say is don't worry yet until you speak with is doctor, it could be something and it could be nothing. Best of Wishes.
With the limited information provided this is difficult to answer; short of saying see your doctor. Which can also mean see your urologist while the oncologist is on vacation.Did he have a seminoma or non-seminoma testicular cancer? Seminomas are usually treated with radiation and non-seminomas are usually treated with chemotherapy. If it was a non-seminoma it may have produced tumor markers (HCG or Alpha fetoprotein). These tumor markers should be rechecked ASAP. The remaining testicle needs to be checked for masses (at least by your husband and his doctor). About 1 to 2% of the time one can have asynchronous bilateral cancers. Does he have another reason the have lymphadenopathy (enlarged lymph nodes). For example: an infection of some kind (particularly in the abdomen)?In a person with a history of cancer a newly identified enlarged lymph node (particulary in the correct anatomic location) one must entertain the possibility of recurrent cancer.
It could simply mean he has a mild infection and his body is fighting it. I can certainly see why you would be concerned, but this on it's own I think, could be many things, some very simple to very complex, so relax and wait for the PET scan. Good luck.
