More Check Up

I was very sad when my husband got home from his Doctor's appointment last week because he told me that the Doctor told him that they found something on his lung about his limp nodes but they are not quite sure what it is. So hubby has to go back to the hospital for more scans. And my husband has been complaining for keep going back there, but he has no choice because this is for his own good. I hope and praying that everything will be alright for him. I can't stand and its really hard for me to see him getting sick again. But I have to be strong for him, I know we can get by all this.

What is a Limp Node or Lymph node:

Lymph node: Also sometimes referred to as lymph glands, lymph nodes are small rounded or bean-shaped masses of lymphatic tissue surrounded by a capsule of connective tissue. Lymph nodes are located in many places in the lymphatic system throughout the body. Lymph nodes filter the lymphatic fluid and store special cells that can trap cancer cells or bacteria that are traveling through the body in the lymph fluid. The lymph nodes are critical for the body's immune response and are principal sites where many immune reactions are initiated. During a physical examination, doctors often look for swollen lymph nodes in areas where lymph nodes are abundant, including the neck, around the collarbone, the armpit (axilla), and the groin.
