Where are the nodes? There is no way of addressing this well without an in person examination

If the nodes have not increased in size, it is not likely to be cancer. You may feel the nodes every couple of weeks, if any of the lymph glands 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!

Do you need to have cancer present in a lymph node to make all of your other lymph nodes enlarged due to cancer? I have 2 pea sized lymph nodes at the back of my head which haven't in 6 months, so can they cause my other nodes to become enlarged?

Hey, Is it normal for both of my occipital lymph nodes to be immovable? I've read online that this is a sign of having cancer... But my nodes have not changed and they have both remained pea sized for 2 months. I am also 16 and quite slim?
