My husband has a fairly large lymph node on his neck.  The doctor sent him for an ultrasound- which was negative- now we are going for a ct scan any suggestions?

Hi.
Palpable lymph nodes can be caused by infection.  Sometimes, even when the infection has been treated, the lymph nodes continue to be palpable.  It can even persist for months after an initial infection.
What you can do now is try to relax and note for any changes in your lymph nodes.  
You need not worry.  Your biopsy did not show any malignancy.  
Good luck on your wedding.
