What is your ?: Did your child undergo lymph node biopsy?? If so, do you have a pathology report? Have you discussed this with the treating physician? These lymph nodes are tiny and usually indicate some type of underlying infection.

Have had a lymph node in neck for over 2 years now. Ultrasound was normal, and node has gotten smaller. I have been having night sweats recently; is it possible I have lymphoma? Or is 2 years of no growth enough time to rule cancer out?
