3 swollen node's (neck) for 5 years. test's all ok. dr says too small to biopsy, not willing to remove 1cm nodes. no other side effects. worrying?

Should be fine.: Although removing them and sending them to the lab would technically give us the most reliable answer, these would be considered benign at this point if they've stayed the same in number and size and shape for the past five years. But if any more develop, or if they grow, or if you notice more nodes elsewhere in your body, get to your doctor for another evaluation.
