Re: On reactive lymph nodes and delayed diagnosis
Just an FYI here.... THIRTY years ago I had a freely movable enlarged lymph node in neck that remained there for 3 years....had several thyroid scans since I was at high risk which were all negative....docs said no cancer.....finally, my ob-gyn said you know, I want you to biopsy that even though others say its fine. When I did, it was shown that I had a very slow growing thyroid cancer, about 3mm in size, that never showed as anything on the thyroid, but spread to the cervical node. I say all enlarged bumps and lumps should be suspect until proven otherwise. Ceesun
