Lump in neck-have ?'s

Hi.  I am a 25 year old healthy female.  Two months ago I noticed a lump on the right side of my neck.  It seems bigger than the other lymph nodes in my neck.  I have been to three doctors, one was my GP and the other two were ENT specialists.  All of them have said they "think" that it is a normal size lymph node, but I cannot seem to be convinced.  It doesn't hurt when I touch it, but of course, that makes me worried because non tender lumps in neck are more likely to be cancerous than tender nodes.  I dont think that it is getting bigger, but it might be.  Can this be a cancerous cyst?  Could one enlarged node be a sign of something serious?  I can't stop worrying about this and it is affecting my life.  After three doctors have let me go without getting further tests I should believe them right?  This lump just does not feel "normal" to me and it is not going away.  How could I have this one large node that is always enlarged??  I dont know what I am looking for.  I think I am looking for more reasurrance.  I have also started to see a therapist to help my health anxiety.  Any words that might help I would be very appreciative!

If 3 MDs, 2 of which are specialists in this area, said the lymph nodes felt ok, that's pretty reassuring.

The only definite reassurance is to get tissue biopsy and look at the cells in the node.

I have come across your post 2 years later.. im not sure if you check this anymore but I was wondering if anything ever came about of your swollen lyph node. I have the same issue.. now for about 5 months and have also seen 3 docs including ENT specialist.. they told me the same thing but I am worried

hi, if you are still worried you need to get opinions from other speaclist that .deal with rhe neck, alwayz follow what you body is telling you, doctors can get it wrong, im not saying there is somthing to worry about, are u sure its a lymph node? try and get a biopsy if u can that will put you at ease
