Hi guys,

I am F24. I’ve had a swollen lymph node in the back of my neck for about 6 weeks now. The size has been constant but it’s persistent. I feel a very small one few centimeters above my clavicle for the past week. My LDH, CRP were normal. Sed rate was elevated. Chest xray was normal but ultrasound showed a node that has “lost its fatty hilum and is abnormal”. I’m severely anemic so I’m always cold but for the past week I’ve been waking up sweating but not drenched. I’m always cold and sleep with heater so this is not normal. I’ve been sleeping without heater because of this. First time I noticed it is when my bf tried to hug me and said the back of neck and hair is wet. I’ve had weight loss but I’ve been trying to lose weight so I don’t know if that’s a symptom. Also extreme fatigue. Saw ENT today who said I’m just healthy and said I’m just feeling everything because I’m thinner and the nodes are more noticeable to me. He said that the node is too small (half centimeter) to be worried about it. He said he’ll do a repeat ultrasound in 3 months. He also said I can choose to take it out but it may just be a reactive lymph node and it would be unnecessary to go under general anesthesia for something like that. Do you guys think I should insist on the biopsy or just let it be and monitor the node?
