A member asked:
Ok went to doctor and they said my lymph node. is 2 to 3 cm big. and i have taken like 3 different antibiotics. could this be cancer? please help.

Possible: Any lymph node larger than 2cm warrants further evaluation. Factors of importance include your age, smoking history, overall health, family history, etc. I advise you seek out a formal consultation from a surgeon--a biopsy may be indicated.
