Leukemia Sign #9: Swollen Lymph Nodes
Your lymph nodes are located in the neck area, the groin, and under the armpits. They help to filter pathogens from the blood and act as a key component of the body’s immune system. It is not uncommon for them to become swollen when an infection is present, because they go into overdrive to help fight the problem.
However, the lymph nodes should not remain swollen. If they do, then you should arrange to speak with a doctor to get them checked out as soon as possible.
