Q: Cancer and lymphoma symptom - hard lymph nodes

When looking at symtoms for cancer and lymphoma, it says "hard" enlarged lymph nodes. My question is, how hard do they mean? Like, what do they compare it to?

Hi there, saw your post and wanted to see how your additional testing went. I have two "firm" swollen mases on either side of my neck under my jawline-about the size of small grape; just curious to see how your tests turned out and what tests were performed. Hope all is well- thanks
