Hi doctors and fellow users. I have these two submandibular lymph nodes under my chin on either side that are around about the size of a pea or a bean. The nodes are firm, not squishy and I can move them around. They initially became swollen about 3 years ago and at one point they were really irritating and I would poke at them quite often. I believe that the swelling went down, but they have remained pea sized or bean sized for about 3 years now. I'm not sure if I have had any of the typical symptoms of lymphoma except for these swollen nodes which I have had for 3 years now. I did however experience weight loss of around 10-13 pounds at one point in the past 3 years, but I think it was due to my low caloric intake. Also, my upper body tends to increase in temperature after I consume certain foods, making me uncomfortable. My neck also gets warm and uncomfortable at random times. At one point I completely forgot about the nodes but recently I have been able to feel nodes in my lower back which are squishy but concern me nonetheless. I can also feel nodes elsewhere like in my chest but they are smaller and I have been able to feel these nodes for years now. None of these nodes cause me any pain or discomfort, but they do occasionally cause anxiety. Is it normal to be able to feel these nodes? Is it possible that these submandibular nodes could be cancerous even though they've been this way for 3 years now? Remember, they have not increased in size, in fact I think they may have decreased in size since they first swelled. As a side note, I rarely get sick and I have not been sick for a long time now. Can I be reassured that since they have not grown in size that they are not cancerous? Thank you for your help.
