Question

Hey, at both sides of my jaw I have 2 lymph nodes. They are both around half an inch in size in pairs at each side. I've had them for 2 years without any change, cuase or symptoms. I went to a doctor 2 years ago to get then checked because I had them swollen for 4 months prior to the appointment without a cause. The skan results came back tine. Could this be cancer even know it's never changed and I've got no symptoms of things like lyphoma? Or is that very unlikley.

  • Hello Bradley,

    You have contacted us again about your lymph nodes concerns, and we have replied to you about the same issue a couple of weeks ago. This does seem to be an ongoing persistent health worry for you over a long period of time now. As we have had many similar posts from you about this same health concern. 

    I'm afraid the nurses are not going to know if there is anything the matter with your nodes now, or whether you would have any health problems in the future.

    As you are still concerned about them, then do contact your GP to be properly assessed. Do mention your ongoing health anxiety, as this does need to be addressed. They might be able to suggest ways to help with your ongoing health anxiety to make it easier to manage on a daily basis.

    We really can't help you with this going forward, as this forum is not the most appropriate place for you to get this sorted out.

    All the best,

    Vanda
