3 ultrasounds and I'm still worried about lymphoma

[jamal121]

Hello. I have one enlarged lymph node on the left side of my neck. it's painless,freely movable and it's not rock hard but I don't know  if it's soft or rubbery. anyways I've had it for 3 months now. I've seen 3 hematologists and all of them said it's normal but I always insist on doing an ultrasound. last ultrasound was 2 weeks ago and here is the impression " An enlarged lymph node 1.5cmx0.5cm is seen with echogenic hilum ( inflammatory lymph node)"

I'm still worried that it may be lymphoma. I don't have any symptoms but it's not normal for a lymph node to stay enlarged that long. I keep poking it and touch it all the time, can that be the reason why they haven't shrunk?
and is ultrasound is reliable? I see some people say that they can tell if it looks suspicious and other people say that ultrasound is useless.. can anyone please help

Yeah it's a good sign. all of the radiologist told me to just go home and not worry about it. but how reliable is ultrasound really? and is poking it all the time make it stay enlarged?

Seing helium in the node is a good sign
