A member asked:
Swollen neck lymph node for close to three years now.enlarged due to an ear infection but nvr went away. cbc ok and ct diagnosis 8mm. hasn't grown.cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very unlikely: 8mm is small if it's been there 3 years. Expect it to stay there forever since it's probably calcified. Only worry if it starts to grow or you get several more. Otherwise you can relax and maybe check it with your fingers no more than once a month.
