Hi guys

i have a very strange problem with a lymph node on the right side of my neck....I dont know if its enlarged or not....It does not have the characteristics of an enlarged lymph node or a lump...Its not

hard
unmovable
fixed to the flesh
growing larger
greater than 1 cm

however, I can feel it and move it around....I can even take my finger and feel its contour and its bottom... I have to literally dig through my skin and search for it...It doesnt stick out of the flesh...If I gently rub my skin I cant feel it...It seems like a vein with an extra layer of fat or something....

Its only on the right side of my neck and I dont have any other symptoms...I had my physical 6 months ago and there werent any problems....Im not sure how long ive had it...I think its been quite a while...

Is this a normal palpable node or is it enlarged? Its roughly the size of a pea....

Im really scared and have been driven to the brink of madness....


If someone could reply I would be very thankful....

Does anyone know if this is a symptom of cancer?

This sounds like a normal lymph node.

If in doubt see your doctor to alieve the fear.
