I can't shift this anxiety!
I went to the Dr yesterday who felt my neck for lymph nodes and told me everything is fine. I showed him the area which I could feel this new lymph node and he said he couldn't feel anything. It's buried on the left side underneath the muscle.
I can put my fingers around it and move it between the fingers, it's not attached to anything underneath it as I can put my fingers round it enough to kind of pick it up a little.
I have a similar one just above it, closer to the skin. To me it feels about 2cm but the dr said it's around 1cm, how on earth?
My boyfriend felt the lump and to him he said "it doesn't feel any different to any of the others you have shown me"
Do you think it's okay that the Dr didn't feel the lymph node under the muscle? If it was a dangerous lymph node would it be big enough for him to feel it with ease?
It doesn't stick out my skin.
It's very hard, I wouldn't say like a rock, but it's hard.
It moves slighty, though I can't really get to it to tell you exactly what it's like.
I'm just so scared. I've never felt it before, much like with every lymph node I find.

Also I have had a sore throat for 2 weeks.
My glands were swollen for about 1 week but have gone back down now.
If I had lymphoma would those glands have gone back down?
Can you get swollen glands with lymphoma that aren't part of the cancer?
