Do i have signs of lymphoma?

Eight months ago, I felt that there was something in my neck, under the ear on both sides, the size of a pea. I went to the doctor, and after doing a blood test, all the results were at the normal level. Yesterday, he told me that this is a normal thing that you must live with and that there is no danger because it is getting bigger and smaller. My neck always hurts, can I trust what the doctor says?

Hi, if there is a bump on both sides, symmetrically, then it's very unlikely to be lymphoma. But no blood test is used to rule out lymphoma. An ultrasound is useful for that purpose.

What you likely have is an overactive immune system. I looked very briefly at your other posts and your history reinforces that.
