Is it possible for some people to be able to feel lymph nodes even if they're not cancerous?i feel2 above armpit.doctor felt 1,he's not worried 0.7cm

Do not be concerned: Your doctor has examined you and is not concerned. It is not even sure that what you are feeling is a lymph node. Check it about once a month and if it gets bigger then consult your doctor again.
