Low grade activity may be due to non specific infection. The size of the nodes is also significant. The symptoms of the patient take a priority. Better to show to a Surgical oncologist who would examine her and then decide if any of the nodes needs a biopsy. Feel free to contact me directly if you want to discuss this further.
