My husband had palpable nodes 8 to 9 mm, in his case they did a CT scan. 30 nodes removed, 2 had a trace amount of cancer cells, none had pierced the node membrane. Many nodes were simply inflamed. The two affected nodes were under the jaw where the squamous cancer had invaded bone and tissue. The nodes are there to catch and eradicate any irregularity at the cellular level. How did you make out with getting tested? Hopefully everything is good, All the best, Sophie
