My elderly father has been having health problems which include abnormal bleeding and a low blood count. The doctor said that it may possibly be a lymph node in his groin that is causing problems with fluid retention, etc. What are the chances that it is cancerous? I am worried sick! Thanks for your input....

There is certainly a chance that he has developed a cancer that has metastasized to the lymphatics. Most likely culprit is the prostate. But lymphoma, or congestive heart failure are also possibilities, given the limited amount of info we have. I would listen to the doctor, and not rely on the group of amateurs you can count on here.

Its a high chance that it could be. He needs to get checked ASAP.My aunt,45, found out she had lymphoma about 5 yrs ago. She went into remission, but sadly earlier this year, it came back.This cancer is nothing to play around with.Have your father checked.Best of luck
