i have had many "enlarged" glands and lumps that i have felt over the last year that all have turned out to be nothing important, or just scar tissue or just still enlarged from surgery or radiation.
I hope you can get back into seeing someone again soon. It is pretty important to keep seeing a good doc for this, especially with how aggressive it can be, and they say it can be more aggressive with younger age!
Sorry you are going through this at 17, I thought it was bad enough to go through at 25, but 17! You will be that much stronger in the end, but I am still sorry to hear you are going through something like this at your age!
