Watch and wait: You may feel the node every couple of weeks, if the lymph gland doubles in size, becomes painful, ulcerates, or other nodes become enlarged, or you develop fever, or lose weight, you should see a doctor. Wish you good health!

Hey, I have pairs of pea sized lymph nodes all over my body. I also have a pair of pea sized immovable lymph nodes at the back of my head in my occipital region. None of my nodes have changed at all over a 6 month period. Is this a sign of cancer?

I have multiple little swollen lumps (i think lymph nodes, but sure) on the back side of my neck. The lumps are pea-sized. These little lumps are only on the right side. The lumps do not hurt or move. I have had these for 8 days. What are these?
