Swollen Lymphnodes

jennadahl

Ive had a swollen lymphnode in my neck near my collar bone for about 6 months.. Ive had 3 Dr.s tell me its nothing to worry about.. they tried getting a biopsy of it but its to small. I got sick a week ago.. sore throat, cough, runny nose and I found another swollen lymph node in my neck. Its twice the size of the other one.. Its starting to scare me.. I showed my Dr. and he said its nothing to worry about.. he told me to go back in 2 weeks and we'll discuss another biopsy.. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks Jenna

It was a needle biopsy.. I still have a cough/minor sore throat.. I guess I'm just freaking out because my mom recently died from cancer.

hi, it probably is just the result of infection. A node can swell up then not go down as it should. Modern "evidence based medicine" is all about the odds.

Did they try a needle biopsy? Or surgical?
