Swollen lymph node biopsy scheduled for next week

I had a bacterial infection four months ago and also had an allergiv reaction to the antibiotics I was given. Since then, I have had a swollen lymph gland on the right side of my neck. My doctor ordered an ultra sound and it showed 2 swollen lymphnodes. I have a biopsy scheduled for next week and am extremely scared that I have cancer. The lymphnode that I can feel is moveable and rubbery and not painful. It has not grown since my reaction this summer. Do I need to be concerned?

Hi ,

I hope your surgery went well and things are well. I have a neck lymph node biopsy schedules for Dec 30th and am nervous. Were you given a Local or general aneasthesia. My doc feels that local would be fine for me.

Please let us know how you are doing.
