A member asked:
Ive had feel-able lymph nodes under my jaw, chin and at the sides of my neck for 3 years. they feel above 1cm but ive had them checked twice by doctors around a year ago and they said its just because im slim. could this be lymphoma?

Those nodes collect things from your face and mouth and there is constant trauma just in chewing so those nodes are usually feelable and that is an indication that they are doing their job. Only if they quickly enlarge or become tender do you have to worry. And your docs have already reassured you about them.
