HELP swollen nodes

[epistore]

Hello, this is my first postagen here, I have been suffering from anxiety for some time, and with this anxiety I always get sick. Now I have my swollen lymph nodes. More precisely, the left side below the salivary glnadula. I already went to 2 ENT doctors and 2 head surgeons. And no one was as worried as I am. I had blood and ultrasound examinations and a ganglion of 15.2x6.0mm appeared on one side and 12.0x5.5mm on the other side. But when looking at my neck one of them is a little protruding on the hair and this is making me terrified. The ultrasound report showed them normal anatomy, reactive diagnosis, but 1 month ago I took antibiotics and anti-inflammatories and did not diminish, I'm scared.

To be fair you have had tests done and told they are normal so you have to just accept this.

suspect ganglions appear on the correct ultrasound? a submandibular ganglion of up to 2 cm would not be appropriate then?

Sorry for the persistence, but if anyone can answer the above question

We're not trained medical personnel. That question is best directed to your doctor but being that you've had several doctors give you the all clear, including highly trained specialists and surgeons, you can put this to rest.

Thank you and my doctor reviewed the examination and said: enlarged lymph nodes but keeping anatomy of inflamed, nothing shows lymphoma

The thought of lymphoma does not get out of my head. But there I see articles in the intenet that talk about the size of the lymph node some say that up to 1cm, others up to 2cm. Some say that if the lymph node is fusiform there are no problems only with those to which the long axis / short axis is less than 2. I am totally terrified because my lymph node is already a month there and it does not go away, and it has a size of 1.5cm x 0.6cm.

I'm a head and neck cancer survivor.

Cancer is an uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. It doesn't come and go nor does it stop once it starts.

Thanks for the answer, you mean that in just one month he would have grown more? But what if it is a slow-growing one?

[Fishmanpa]

But what if it.....

Exactly the brain is something uncontrollable, allied to DR google everything gets worse. But thank you very much for your attention.

one more question, several sites say that a reactional lymph node should decrease in two weeks, but if it lasts longer and normal? Anyone with an enlarged lymph node lasted longer than that and was nothing serious?
