Q: Is It Really Mono?

This is my 3-4 month of being diagnosed mononucleosis and my lymph nodes are still big. I have many swollen ones (mostly in neck and groin) and they're all painless, though i'll occassionally get a dull pain through the areas they're swollen. Some of them are quite big while I have pea-sized ones around the rest of the areas. Over the time i've had mono I haven't really had any symptoms other than the lymph nodes and a swollen liver/spleen. When I get a sore throat it's hardly sore at all and it only lasts a few hours/couple of days.


I'm also an extremely anxious person and i'll go to the doctor practically every month for check-ups because i'll think i'll have some life-threatening disease. My immune system is pretty good and i'm immune to some diseases such as rubella though I still have an anxiety problem. Now i'm starting to think it's lymphoma just because my lymph nodes are painless and they're still swollen.


Can anyone give me some info on the lymph nodes?

It is rare to have mono more than once- did you have a blood test? Swollen lymph nodes w/out pain are indicative of cancer - but if your doctor has followed up with blood work- he/she must think you are in clear. If you have had mono it can take several months for them to go back to normal size. Hope you feel better!
