My son has had cervical and abdominal nodes removed. We don't normally get too worked up around here about medical issues cuz we have gone through this cancer screening stuff a few times now, and it always turns out fine. Generally, everyone around here is pretty healthy other than some out of whack blood tests and lymph nodes.
From what I've heard, it is quite normal to have lymph node swelling in the general areas (neck, armpits, and groin), but to have them in the clavicle region doesn't sound like it happens too often and should be checked out pronto.
My son had general anesthesia when he had his surgeries. He has kind of a tough time afterwards because he has asthma and he ends up very croupy. It doesn't take long for him to come around though.
Hopefully the doctors you have seen have noted the approx. size of your nodes so they can monitor growth. It is also something you should do at home, but don't check them too often because that can aggravate them. Some of my son's were quite visible, so it wasn't hard to see how much they were increasing in size.
At any rate, if you don't feel comfortable with your doctors' opinions, make sure you have everything checked further for your own peace of mind. Life is too short to have to spend your days worrying about your health. Afterall, you are the one hiring them!!!!
Good luck, and let me know how everything turns out!!!
