I would go to a doctor and have them examined. I had a lymph node removed from above my left collar bone about 3 weeks ago. It was rock hard and swollen.

They ran tests on it, nothing came back cancerous but they did indicate that it was from a residual infection. I am still waiting on what infection it was. I wouldn't worry to much but I would definitely go get it checked out, better safe then sorry.As for it being cancerous you won't know, nor will a doctor, unless it is ran through a series of tests.

Good luck and I will pray for the best. Sources: Personal experience .

You need to go to the doctor You don't say what, if any, your other symptoms are, but your doctor should always be your first stop if something sudden happens, a change in your health, or pain, for instance, or you think something serious is going on. No one on the internet is going to be able to tell you if you have cancer of the lymph nodes based on this information. Good luck..

Not nessarily. It could also mean that your body has recently been fighting an infection of some sort. Have you had the flu, a cold, or some similar problem?

I think it's impossible for you to know for sure without seeing a doctor. Since there is a chance, even a small chance, that it's lymphoma, I urge you to see your doctor immediately. Sources: personal opinion .

First of all you need to see a Doctor, He is the only one that can run the proper tests to find out if you have a malignancy. I have Lymphoma Cancer, it was discovered a few years ago when I was in the Hospital for something else. They told me that older people usually get this, I am 70 years old.No one knows why.

Ever since I was discovered with this I see a Doctor every three months. He runs a blood test and about twice a year a cat scan.So far it has been doormat and they are just watching it. All of my lymph nodes are swollen.

They tell me that this type of Cancer is more a nuisances than anything else.It is very treatable with Chemotherapy.
