Previous benign lymph node

I had an enlarged neck lymph node in 2019, went to gp, had ultrasound and was told it was benign reactive node. I still have the swollen node and I think it's got a bit bigger. Can a once benign reactive node turn nasty? 

  • Hi Bibbidybobbidy,

    Ideally it would be best to discuss this with your GP as they will be best placed to advise. You are also welcome to speak to one of our nurses - if you'd like to do this, you can either post in the 'Ask the Nurses' section of this forum, or you can give them a call on freephone 0808 800 4040 (Monday-Friday, excluding bank holidays).

    Wishing you all the best,
