A member asked:
Ive had 2 lymph nodes in me neck for 2 years. they half an inch in size and have never changed. i also have no symptoms of lymphoma or a cause for the lymph nodes to be there. could this be cancer?

I would think these are benign, but you could get an opinion from an ENT specialist or general surgeon about the advisability of having an excisional biopsy so you don't have to keep getting checkups. This would also give you peace of mind.

Very unlikely. You can watch and wait. 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!

I've had feelable pea sized lymph nodes in my groin, neck, jaw and under my chin for 3 years now. They have never changed and I have no symtoms of lyphoma. Would this be something to worry about or is it just due to me being very slim? I'm 17 also?
