Hi K40d. Welcome to the forum.
I hope your mother is doing well on her chemo.
I should say that I'm not a doctor.
At the moment there is no reliable screening test for NHL. I can understand your fears and I think it's reasonable to discuss them with your GP. I suggest you familiarise yourself with symptoms of NHL but please don't get too paranoid - the vast majority of swollen nodes are caused by infection, not cancer.
