What part of California are you in?
If you are anywhere NEAR San Francisco, go to the UCSF walk-in FNA clinic.
It is at 1700 Divisidero St.
Get your Dr to write a Rx asking for an FNA of the largest node that you can feel.
They will examine the results right there under a microscope and tell you what they are thinking.
Since I am not a medical professional, the advice is just a layman's suggestion.
