Lumps in neck, waiting for ultrasound

I'm 19yrs old, October 2019 I discovered 3 lumps in my kneck, the doctor said they were fine felt small rubbery and he wasn't concerned. Recently the lumps have played on my mind, I felt them and they seem to have grown a bit, to me they now feel hard but are movable, had a phone call with the doctor and she's referred me for an ultrasound. ive done the wrong thing and had a google trip and the answers I got all point to them being something bad. Feeling very stressed, scared and confused, I'm young and healthy and the wait for an answer isn't helping. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this?

    Hey! 
     

    ive literally just commented on another post regarding lymph nodes! Have a YouTube and watched cherellethinks videos regarding lymph nodes (most recent lymph node videos)! 
    she does a good job at explaining why we can sometimes feel them and doctors aren't concerned so much! 
     

    An ultrasound will be good to see if they look suspicious! I have several in my neck, collarbone and armpit which don't "look suspicious" but had them since December so having mri Thursday! I'd recommend avoiding google but most cases lymph nodes are just normal maybe fighting an infection you didn't know you had!! It's on one area too which sounds great! Also if you are digging you are bound to find them, everyone has them they have a purpose. They are normally pea/bean size and shaped unless it's growing super crazy, larger than a CM or you have night sweats etc try not to assume the worst !! Your ultrasound will know more than me but I hope this reassured you as obviously I'm not a doctor lol!!

    besides worrying won't help anything anyways! Odds are more likely not cancer than anything cancerous!!
