In case you dont know my story from my previous threads I'll update you.
6 month's ago i found a small palpable lymph node on the lower left side of my neck almost in the center close to the base of my neck, i turned to Google which scared me so i poked around to find more, and i found 4 lymph nodes, 2 side by side on the lower left side of my neck, and 2 side by side on the lower right side of my neck, i immediately thought they were supracalvicular lymph nodes and ive read bad things about these particular nodes, so i went to my doctor who felt of them and said they didn't feel large but as a standard precaution she ordered a complete blood count, and ultrasound, which revealed the biggest of those 4 node was 1.1 cm x 0.8 cm, when i went back to get my results i seen a different doctor who read my results and said everything looked good, she then felt my neck, groin, pits, arms, legs, and said she doesn't see anything to worry about. Well I'm still worried, so i set up another appointment with a doctor that i seen a while back that i like and i want to get his opinion on the test results, but i want to know what kind of questions to ask so that i can better understand my situation and maybe get some reassurance. My lymph nodes doesn't seem to have changed much at all in these 6 months, they feel small, non tender, and a little firm but not hard like a rock and i can move them, sometimes i have to turn my head and raise my arm to move them i guess they get blocked my muscles and tendons. I'm not here for a diagnoses but i know alot of you deal with lymph nodes yourself and you know this obsession is insanely scary. I constantly worry i have cancer and that the doctors aren't going to find it until I'm sick and laying in the hospital. I feel great though, no lack of energy, no night sweats, no weight loss, i literally feel as healthy as i did 5 years ago i just have this anxiety looming around me. I also found one more node right below my left ear right after i came down with a ear ache sore throat and sinus pain so i linked that to the illness i had so i am currently waiting for that node to go away its been 4 days since i got ocer my sore throat and my ear is still clearing up at the moment. What are your thoughts honestly?

I forgot to mention, my doctor said that it isn't the supracalvicular lymph nodes, its in the supracalvicular area but apparently it's not those nodes. I was also denied a biopsy when i asked for one, she said theres no surgeon going to attempt a biopsy due to the small size of the nodes, and there is fatty hilum present which i was told is a good thing.
