lymph nodes in the neck and groin

hello, for more than 9 years i have had those small balls in my neck right in the middle i think they are lymph nodes they are small (<1.5cm) there are 4 of them and i have another one in front of my right ear and another one in the groin area, but they are not painful and their size didn't change since i first noticed them. i was never worried about them but i found on the internet people saying that this may be cancer or a sign that you have hiv or something serious so i got worried about them. i also donated blood like 2 weeks ago and they told me that they will check the blood for any thing wrong and if there was something wrong they will call and they didnt call me back so i think everything went just fine but am still worried about those nodes and ny the way i have no other symptoms, so please help me is it normal or could it be something serious??
thanks,

Hi Sehs!  Welcome to the forum.  

You've had these symptoms for a long time to go without any other symptoms like weight loss, fatigue, pain...etc.

I also believe that piece of mind is extremely important.  If these are starting to bother you.  It wouldn't hurt to see a doctor and let he/she check them out and run some basic blood work.

I have friends, including myself that deal with swollen lymph glands.  It doesn't always mean cancer.  There are a multitude of things that can cause that.  

Do you have insurance so you can see a doc to get some basic blood work done?

I hope that you are able to get some answers soon!  Please keep us posted on how things are going.   :)
