Hi Jenny
Is the swollen node in your neck or collar bone area? As you know lymph nodes respond to other things as well as cancer, infection/inflammation being most common.I feel the fact it comes up and then goes down is a good sign. You also have two small children who often bring upper respiratory infections home and you may just be responding to that. Try not to panic too much yet, I KNOW its hard not to! I think you will feel better once you have had the ultrasound and then if there is still uncertainty a biopsy will put your mind at rest.

Hugs
Ellie
