Can somebody has swollen lymph node in neck for 8 month, 2 or 3 & with slight increase in size, 12mm, and don't have a disease? as all doctors told me!

See below : It's great that u saw a doctor for the lymph nodes. I assume your doctor is monitoring them. If there is no evident cause for your lymph nodes and they are growing then a biopsy would probably be a good idea at this point. I would revisit your doctor and tell him/her that it's growing. Good luck.
