Worried

Hey, I have a lymph node on the right side of my jaw which is just below half an Inch in size. Its very movable. The node on the other side of my jaw is also just pea sized and very small. I'm also very slim. I have no symtoms of lyphoma. I also got the lymph node scanned around 2 years ago and they couldn't see anything but I don't know if the lymph node has been enlarged for them 2 years or just reappeared. Before I got the scan done it was swollen for around 3 months then I got it checked. Could this be cancerous? Online is says that a lymph node that is more than 1cm is considerd abnormal. That is why I'm concerned that mine is just below half an inch.

  • Hello, and thank you for posting.

    I am afraid I do not know if there is anything the matter or if the node is abnormal, the internet is also unable to tell you as it can't assess you properly.

    If anyone notices anything that concerns them they need  to call the GP surgery and arrange a telephone appointment. The Doctor can then decide if this needs to be investigated further.

    Take care, and hopefully you will know more soon.

    Sarah.
