Lymph node: Greetings. The size of the lymph node is one parameter used to make decisions regarding treatment options. Having the size of 0.9 mm for 3-4 years tells me that you have been having a study like an ultra sound over time. Stability is important over time. Non tender, mobile and no skin changes close to the node is important too. Don't smoke and continue to have it examined and measured.
