The reomval of the lymph node was something that the internal medicine doctor wanted to have done. This wasn't suggested by my ent. and its been there since October,although it doesnt seem to be enlarging. I'm not looking for sympathy I'm trying to see what people who have actual experience with this think. Like I said if I didn't have any symptoms I wouldnt be wondering whats wrong either. I dont want t have it I just want to catch it early as possible if I do.
