Update WAS Re: Any swollen glands from RA?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I thought I'd post an update. I went to the my RA Dr. this afternoon.

He said the lump under my arm pit wasn't from RA. He said it was a

swollen lymph node. He said some people get it from time to time and

it will probably happen again. What a relief! I've been thinking about

it every day for 2 months and worrying it might be cancer. Dumb to

wait, but I kept hoping it would go away like it did four years.

before I was dx with RA, I had a lump just below my arm pit. It went

away after a few months. Now 4 years later, I've had another lump in

the same spot for about 2 months. I'm wondering if this is a symptom

of RA.****
