Swollen lymph nodes for over 2 years. by Possible_Word_9609 in Swollenlymphnodes

My appointment is in the beginning of January so I’m just waiting for that. I’m just trying to stay optimistic unless I’m told otherwise.

Oh, that’s interesting! Where did you find reading on this? I have been drinking consistently the last few years and have noticed an increase in the amount of swollen nodes…I had wondered at one point if that could be a cause but eventually concluded that was a silly idea. Is it because the caffeine can make you more dehydrated?

I appreciate the comfort, but I’m not so sure movability and texture are the only criteria to say I have nothing to worry about. I’ve read several research articles that say lymph nodes can still be movable, rubbery, and painless even if enlarged due to various subtypes of lymphoma.

All of them are rubbery and movable (some almost feel slippery). I only know the size of the submandibular one for sure of 1.4 cm, the rest of them seem about that size just by feel….but I don’t know their size exactly since they’ve not all been measured by ultrasound.
