A member asked:
I've had multiples pairs of lymph nodes swollen around my body for 2 years. they are all pea sized and movable and have not changed. i also have no symtoms of lymphoma. could this be cancer?

Rare things rarely happen. Pea sized and mobile are the normal state of lymph nodes. They are often easily found in superficial locations like the neck when they are not buried in fat or other tissue.

Unlikely 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!
