Follicular Lymphoma

I'm aware that FL is slow growing but my question is how big do the lymph nodes take to grow to an abnormally large size?

  • Hello caldd__

    I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your question but I suspect there's no hard and fast rule about how quickly lymph nodes can take to grow to an abnormal size. 

    Do talk to your Consultant or GP about any concerns that you have. Alternatively, if you'd like to chat things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.

  • Hi cald I have been going through the same thing , did you get your results? I have one in my neck just under my jaw and one behind my ear which has never changed size but they do feel hard but I do have a cavity in my bottom tooth and saw online that could be the cause, I never got it checked out as I never had any symptoms I just thought it is nothing I’m 21 and I’ve noticed them there for at least 5 years also I think follicular lymphoma is rare at our ages and surely if it was that we would have symptoms or be I’ll by now.
