I had wrote back in May here because of a swollen lymph node in my armpit. Well it is back.
Previously did mammogram and u/s with both okay. U/S showed I had multiple swollen lymph nodes from armpit into the breast tissue.

When I called my PCP to let them know it was back, I had to go in to see him. He felt around neck and said several from acorn size in front and back of neck. But that unless they got golf ball size or bigger, he would not refer me onto a surgeon for biopsy. That the surgeon would just laugh at me for coming. Not trying to push for something I don't need, but I also don't want to sit back and relax on something that I should be pushing.

Has anyone heard or know anything about the likelihood of lymphoma based on size of the enlarged lymph nodes?

THANKS!
