Members shared varied experiences with feeling lymph nodes during remission, with many describing nodes that were once very swollen but are now either undetectable or greatly reduced after treatments like Rituximab, Brukinsa, and chemotherapy. Several members emphasized that their lymph nodes have become much smaller or disappeared entirely since treatment, though a few mentioned still feeling slight swelling or occasional stabbing pains in areas where nodes once were. A recurring theme was the importance of reporting any palpable lymph nodes to an oncologist while also recognizing that whether or not you can feel them may depend on their location and that scans ultimately provide the clearest picture of disease status.
