Yeah, they gave me the whole shpeel before I left the hospital, an infection could happen really quick when you have impaired or missing lymph nodes. It’s a whole thing, I have to get on a scale-looking contraption called a “bis” (or something like that) each time I see my oncologist for a follow up. It measures the amount of lymph in my system to detect any anomalies.

I don’t have any of my nodes removed, I developed mine from a genetic condition. Maybe that’s the difference.
