I'm Canadian - we need referrals - however i read somewhere here recently that if you live the states you don't need anything like that - call the local cancer center - ask for the head and neck clinic. If it's nothing -then you've wasted some time but gained peace of mind.. And a 1 cm node is fairly large - mine was 1.4 when it was removed.. But nodes can swell for a variety of reasons - good luck
