  • Hi Gregmcfc and thank you for your post.

     

    I’m sorry to hear about your diagnosis of testicular cancer. This must be such a difficult time for you.

     A sore throat and swollen lymph nodes can happen for many reasons. The most commonest reason is a virus or infection.

    Lymph nodes are small glands in your body that help fight infections. They are part of your immune system. When you have an infection, like a cold or sore throat, the lymph nodes can swell because they are working hard to fight germs.

    The best thing you can do is speak to your hospital specialist so they can check what’s causing these symptoms.

    I really hope you know more soon and that everything will be okay for you.
