However I am still concerned that the node on my neck is still enlarged after a month, although it is smaller, I asked if he would suggest a biopsy at this point to rule out any underlying conditions that may also be coincidental? I am also concerned with the of the largest one being 1.6cm long by 1cm wide.
I will be getting a clotting blood test done on Saturday, and then a fine needle biopsy of the node done on Thursday. After the results come back from the biopsy I will do a final update, right now my mind is racing with panic about lymphoma because of the nodes still being somewhat large and noticeable after antibiotics and a months worth of time passing.
