Wait and watch: If three different specialist do not feel the need to do a biopsy, it would be reasonable to wait and watch. If the nodes double in size you should re-contact your primary care doctor.

Does a hard lymph node (that has been swollen for more than a month) always suggest cancer/malignancy? Ive already seen an ent, but Im still anxious about it, mainly because it is painless. I already got an ultrasound, but not a biopsy.
