A member asked:
If a lymph node was cancerous do you think it would have grown at least a little after 4 months and my doctor says its not swollen but im worried stil?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely cancer: With the caveat that anything is possible, if the lymph node has not grown and your doctor isn't worried (and you're quite young), cancer is very unlikely.
