Today, by pure accident, I managed to feel enlarged nodes on the side of the neck. In an instant I was in a full panic mode as node was painless and hard, wasn't sure it was movable or not.
I went to doc the same day to do the ultrasound. It is actually a cluster of 3 nodes that are a bit enlarged. Two are 6.5mm and one is 5.8mm.
Doc said that there is nothing to worry about as he would recognize by the structure of them if they were malignant. He felt them, said they were movable and he is not sure how long I have them, might be days might be years and they might stay like that, depending on how long I have them.
He did reassure me, but there is always that lingering feeling that maybe it is not possible to see if they are benign on ultrasound and I don't want to Google as I am positive I fell find some cases of people diagnosed with cancer with normal ultrasound.
What scares me is that they are in clusters in still around 6mm. From what I know previously from reading is that when you have cluster of 3 nodes the "size" is reduced and even above 4mm is considered potentially malignant.
