Has anyone dealt with a growing lymph node after 3 years cancer-free?

New on here as of an hour ago. Stage3 back in 2022, 3 years clean after 6 mos of Oxaliplatin, Xeloda and surgeries. Now I have one lymph node next to my aorta that has been slowly increasing size for 4 months. I'm back on Xeloda which isn’t having much of an effect. Looks like Folferi may be in my future for a cancer that can't be biopsied or removed, or positively declared. Everything else is good

Welcome to the community! Many members here have faced the uncertainty of concerning changes during follow-up care, and the anxiety around lymph node growth is something others can relate to. This situation highlights how complex cancer monitoring can be, especially when imaging shows changes that can't be easily confirmed through biopsy. Other community members may have valuable insights about navigating similar diagnostic challenges and treatment adjustments during their cancer journey.
