A member asked:
If a benign lymph node in a breast keeps getting bigger every few years,is that a serious issue? it is freakin me out!

Need more info: How do you know the node is benign? How large is the node? Where is it located around the breast? Its not typical for a lymph node to continue to enlarge over years for no reason. Again more info would allow much more informed guidance.
