Lymphoma/Cancer risk?

I've had a swollen node on the left side of my neck for ~3 months and my occipital node seems to be a bit swollen as well. I touch them both a lot, every day.





I recently had my adenoids taken out because they were extremely enlarged. My ENT had them biopsied and everything was normal. Can i be comfortable with the adenoid biopsy (since it's lymph tissue) or would I need to have a lymph node excised?

Lymphoma/Cancer risk?
My brother has it and has had the same swollen on his neck. It is easily cured with chemo and most people surivive it. From what I know Lymphoma is a very slow moving cancer so you shouldnt have much to worried about just as long as you take care of it with the correct treatment. But if you had it some of the sythomes are: vomiting, fevers, weight loss.
Reply:Lymphoma would have other symptoms like night sweats, loss of weight. I'm in remission from Non-Hodgkins lymphoma. If you can have it arranged where they can take out that lymph node, I'd probably go that route.
Reply:Th person who said there would be other sympoms wtih lymphoma was wrong. There are two types, type A and type B, type A has no symptoms. I have hodgkins, and all i had was a lump on my neck, besides that I was in perfect health. And the person who said it was slow moving is also wrong. It is fast moving wich is what makes it the easiest to cure.
