Hi dear
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.

She has enlarged lymphnode. It can be due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis, lymphoma or metastatic carcinoma. She should go for fine needle aspiration cytology study. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then plan treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me.
I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
