I wouldn't jump to that conclusion because lymph nodes can become enlarged for a variety of other reasons, most notably, infection. Swelling that comes on suddenly is usually due to infection, swelling that comes thru a long period is usually related to some form of cancer.

Please let me know if you have any further questions, or need more info.
