That is indeed great news! It sounds like your medical team has been thorough in ruling out serious causes.

Swollen lymph nodes can occasionally be associated with myeloma, though they are not among the most common symptoms. The more typical signs of myeloma to watch for include:

- Bone pain or lesions
- High calcium levels
- Kidney changes
- Anemia (low red blood cell count)
- Frequent infections Since your ultrasound and CBC came back reassuring, it's still worth mentioning the swollen nodes to your myeloma specialist at your next visit, just so they can keep an eye on things over time.

Other MyMyelomaTeam members have reported experiencing swollen lymph nodes and finding it reassuring to have them properly investigated, just as you have done. You advocated well for yourself! πŸ‘
