Im sorry, I do not know what the "juicy" lymph node is supposed to mean???? I suggest speaking to the doctor tomorrow to clarify exactly what they mean with saying "juicy" lymph nodes. . Medical terminology is difficult enough for patients and caregivers to decipher, making up their own medical terms makes it even harder to follow their explanations. When the doctor checks your husband make certain you fully understand everything they say, if not ask them to clarify it. Make those few minutes when the doc pops in on their morning rounds count and dont feel bad about asking them to explain something further. They're there for your husband and as his caregiver, you as well. I would ask if a visiting nurse is something that can be set up to check on your husband the first couple weeks he's first at home.
Best wishes to you both with everything!!!
