I'm sorry that i keep posting about the same issue but I'm oping to hear from some new people and get their opinions.
From my past threads you should know that i have located 4 lymph nodes, 2 on the left lower part of my neck that sit side by side, and 2 on the right lower part of my neck that also sit side by side almost symmetrical to the left nodes.
The left nodes are very palpable, i don't even have to push in much to feel them, they are not large id say around 1 cm which the ultrasound showed it to be 1.1 cm, they are moveable, not rock hard but not soft as tissue, painless and they are not protruding from my neck at all. I have no other symptoms like night sweats, fever, weight loss, etc.
I do however have some abdominal discomfort at times but i have acid reflux which upsets my stomach at times which ive dealt with for years.
I had a cbc and ultrasound and both were clear there was fatty helium present which i hear is a good thing and thw doctor that examined me said that she also has nodes that she can feel and that they are normal, but mine are very palpable i can almost feel the entire shape of the node with one finger.
This is a huge concern for me i suffer from ha, and I've literally convinced myself i may have cancer and it's driving me nuts.
The doctor declined a biopsy when i mentioned it she said they are too small and that no specialist would likely even bother with a biopsy but im to the point now where i need a biopsy so i can put this nightmare behind me.
I understand lymph nodes are palpable especially in slim people such as myself, but from what i read people really have to dig for the nodes before they find them, but my nodes however would be very hard to miss because like i said i can gently press on my neck and feel a lump where the node is.
I noticed these nodes around 6 months ago i don't know if they were palpable before this because i never felt my neck looking for nodes but they havent changed at least not that i can notice still the same size.
I can't seem to stop poking them so i don't know if they would have gone down by now or not because of so much poking every day.
Words can't describe how much worry these pesky things have caused me and i don't know what else to do because the doctor isn't concerned so i can't push for a biopsy.
Any advice is appreciated.
