Swollen lymph node?

Hello, I’m 26years old and I have had what I think is a swollen lymph node for a year and a half maybe two years? 

I have just had a baby so have had regular bloods done over the past 9months so I’m guessing that it would have been pointed out to me if something was wrong?

i have three kids now, the lump hasn’t bothered me at all but I thought I should get in checked out? I’m making an appointment on Monday (it’s 2am Sunday) but anyone had this and it’s been a positive outcome? 

The lump moves, I have no symptoms otherwise, bout the size of a two p coin, hard with no pain. You can also see it if I lean my head to one side.

 

thanks

    Hi Carliesaszkia,

    A very warm welcome to our forum. First of all, congratulations on the birth of your baby. Lymph nodes can swell up with any minor infection annd, although most settle down again, not all do. Some people are left with the swelling long term, even though there is no cancer present.

    It is just as well to make an appointment with your GP, if only for your own peace of mind, as it is impossible to confirm or rule out anything sinister until some tests are carried out.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Keeping my fingers crossed for good news.

    Kind regards,
