[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 697451, member: 1963"] Speaking from my own experience, I'd probably feel better if that lymph node were removed and seen by a pathologist. I went through this i992-93 with the top lymph node on the right side of my neck. Swelled up to the size of an egg, hard, hurt, and stuck to the skin. I insisted it be removed. It went to several pathology labs with some saying it was cancer and some saying it wasn't, but they didn't know WHAT it was. Finally, it was sent to Walter Reeds Infectious Diseases department. THEY identified it as being a granuloma due to infection with a fungus called nocardia. I had to take some nasty antibiotics for several months, and have repeated scans of my lungs, but I was very lucky in that that top lymph node caught the fungi and wouldn't let them go any further.
