Could i have waldenstrm macroglobulinaemia without having a cancerous lymph node? i have a pair of nodes which haven't changed in 2 years. i also experience light heads when i raise my head too fast?

No. If the lymph nodes have not grown in two years, you do not have lymphoma or Waldenstrom. 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!
