Hi David,

I have a few around cervical lymph nodes and under my chin that are just over 1 cm. Been to several ENT's, had ultrasounds, an excisional biopsy, and so far, it seems I have viral lymphadenopathy. These lymph nodes have been around for about 2-3 years or more. I can't really say. What I do know, though, is cancerous lymph nodes tend to be sticky. And, they usually grow fast--someone may correct me with an anecdote here. From most cases I've heard about, they usually find a large lymph node, like over 2 cm, which is noticeably growing over a several week time frame.

Anyways, you should definitely see an ENT about it. A biopsy would be important, given your history.

40 y.o., undiagnosed, spitting up blood past 4-5 months at random intervals, several enlarged lymph nodes under chin and neck, biopsy of one showed benign viral lymphadenopathy. Still being monitored by ENT.
