Those are likely common reactive lymph nodes, not cancerous with unchanged sizes after 2 years.

Cancer is very unlikely. 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!
