Could they be related? I've been panicking about this lump in my neck for awhile now. Assuming it's a lymph node because I can feel another one on my right side but it's half the size of the one on the left. The one on the left is the size of a kidney bean I'd say. I had both of my wisdom teeth removed in 2011. But now in my bottom molar on the left there's a fairly large cavity. Could this be why the lymph node is swollen? The cavity doesn't even hurt most of the time though....ugh. Still have to wait until Monday for my ultrasound and it's horrible waiting. I'm scared to death and can't stop crying. I'm convinced that I have cancer and I feel so alone.

You are totally fine. We all have lymph nodes. During one of your previous illnesses, that node never fully retracted. That's all. If it were serious, it would grow rapidly, or steadily. It would be fixated and rock hard.
