My right lymph node was so swollen that I could barely swallow. My past Pcp said it was a bad flare up of EBS. NOT.I went with my gut feeling and had insisted an MRI wasdone.I was dx with Cancer of the thyroid in 11/18. they didn't know until they did the surgery that I was loaded with it and it had spread to lympth nodes. They are now saying that throid Cancer is due to the radiation from your Mamos & teeth Xrays. They are suppose to put a shield around your neck! I will now be insistant on this in the future! I would most def check into it and if necessary have it removed. Good luck
