Well cancer in a lymph node can spread through out the body via the lymph system...
It can then reach all other areas of the body and set up home any where it so chooses.
It really depends on where it sets up home to determine if its deadly...
Lymph cancer can be treated with surgery and chemo

It depends upon type and stage and about 12,000 other things. To try and combat it my suggestion is serious vitimin C. The RDA says 64 miligrams a day. Linus Pauling who got 2 nobel prizes for his work on vitimin C and organic chemestry said a minimum of 1000 mg a day and 2000 mg if you are sick. I had something, to this day the doctors have no idea what it was, but I was flat on my back for 2 weeks in usually Nov and again in Feb. I went on vit C when I got sick and after a couple of years I have never been sick again. During those times I was sick I took a varying amount daily and it followed a bell curve over the 2 weeks. I was up to 40,000 mg a day at one point, 300,000 mg over 2 weeks. It was a narrow range I had to maintain. If I took too much I got diarrea and if I took too little I was sick. In that range I was totally asymptomatic. You need to drink a lot of water because Vit C is a natural diarretic. Also, you doctor will say your kidneys will disolve or calcify, but drink the water and it SHOULD be fine. A couple of years ago the had a report out that said the best cancer-fighter was Interferon - at $15,000 a gram - but it also said that Interferon is a product of the natural breakdown of Vit C in your system. Shortly after that they tried to make Vit C by perscription only. Guess why. Good luck.

My mother has cancer of the lymph nodes its called lymphoma there are many types and subtypes. It is a potentially fatal disease if not monitored frequently. She has low grade stage 4 lymphoma.
She is going through a bone marrow transplant.
Her prognosis looks good. She should live a long happy life. But she still has to be aware of the cancer and monitor it closely. Its a long road but she will survive

Lymph nodes are found in groin area, under arms, neck, etc. They are all connected together by channels which run alongside blood vessels. Cancer in a lymph node cane spread to others and into vital organs, so yes, it can be deadly.
It can be cured though, so it isn't always fatal.

There is a great deal of difference in the many types of lymphoma ( cancer of the lymph system). If it is the agressive type of the large B cells, it is very responsive to chemo therapy and rituxan. You would probably learn more by doing a yahoo or google search by entering "lymphoma" and read about the different types.

It really does depend on the type and the stage that the person is in.

All cancer is potentially fatal. So, yes!

It can be deadly if not diagnosed and treated quickly.
