Changeable size of nodes

Hi all, I'm just after a bit of advice please? I've had 2 swollen nodes (pre-auricular & cervical) for just shy of 6 weeks, the nodes are hard and painless and are 2cm plus in diameter. I have no other symptoms. I'm seeing the doc for a 6 week review on Monday so they can consider a referral to Hematology. My question is, is it a good sign that the lumps change in size during the day? In the mornings and evenings they tend to be around 3cm but through the day they usually shrink to around 2cm. Has anyone had any similar experiences like this?

  • Hello Helpplease123

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently had some health concerns. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about these swollen lymph nodes but it's good to know that you already have a review arranged with your GP on Monday. 

    Hopefully at your appointment the GP will be able to answer your question and give you some reassurance. 

    I do hope that things settle soon. 

    Best wishes,
