Malcolm,

Thank you for the reply.  You know your stuff, and I have trusted your judgement in the past.  Needless to say, now I am worried. Will speak to the doc this week.

Hi Mark,

Enlarged lymph nodes should be investigated by your doctor. It has been described as a symptom of HCV and HCV can be associated with B-cell lymphoma. I don't think it's a side effect of Rx, and you should get it checked out. Cheers.

Hello all,

I have just finished my 24 weeks of treatment.  From the start I had some issues with what I took to be swollen lymph nodes in various spots: armpit, neck and finally groin.  For the last month I have had a series of painfully swollen nodes in difficult spots.  I hope that now that the meds are done, my body will return to some degree of normality.  Has anyone else had a similar experience as a side effect, and did finishing treatment help alleviate the problem? Or should I be more concerned about an underlying problem?  Appreciate any input.

 

Mark
