From what I understand if the lymph node in your necks gets smaller as well as bigger it would be very unlikely that it was a metastasis. It would most likely only get bigger. As makes sense, lymph nodes reacting to an infection might get bigger and smaller as the infection waxed and waneds. You might have an infected tooth without knowing it ie, infection not yet extensive enough to cause you symptoms and yet the body would sense it and try to deal with it.

Ganglions can stay the same size for long periods of time.

Hope your doctor checks you out soon so you can get some peace of mind.
