one lymph node still large

hi doctor i recieved your respective answer but
asking how much maximum time needs for disappearing enlarged lymph node after finishing antiTB med.i know may be little bit decrease & remain or fibrosed ---
my physician advised to excise it ,but surgeon told difficult to remove due to attached to blood vessels on right subraclavicular region ( i have only one L.N. ) also said this L.N. not disappear because may be reactive due to friction during movement with RT.clavicle bone --- i have no any signs or sympts ----my lab tests within normal. thanks alot.

I doubt that this lymph node is enlarged or reactive due to "movement of your right clavicle bone." If your personal doctor thinks that this lymph node needs to be removed, then you might ask for a second opinion from another surgeon.
