Hi Kevin,
I am not a doctor either so ignore any advice that may be implied in the
following.
However, as Colin mentioned, your lymph nodes being reactive typically
means they are enlarged to fight off some infection.
Cutting them out would be like shooting the messenger.
If they did any blood pathology you could ask them to explain the results
to you.
As I understand it, a higher white blood cell count can
be a tell-tale that the body is fighting some antigen and a higher than
normal c-reactive protein (CRP) level can indicate the body has
triggered an inflammatory response.
Hope you recover soon!
