My doctor told me that i can feel my lymph nodes due to my normal atomy, ive had the nodes for 3 years. does this mean that the nodes are just at resting size and feelable due to me being slim and that theyll always be feelable for me?

Nodes are scattered throughout the body & usually detectable when not buried under tissue or fat. The neck and head are a common site for easy detection. Resting nodes are commonly about 1cm in size but can go to work occasionally clensing the serum and double in size for 6 weeks or so before shrinking some.
