talk to a doctor not a bunch of secretaries and burger flippers

I had nodules on limph glands... They got to the size of golf balls (over quite a few years...) and they were OK. Get them checked, and put your mind at ease.

my mum has the same but its wiser really to talk to the specialist as this is something quite serious even if it s not benign u better hear what a dr has to say

it must be very silly for you to ask after you learning of so many signs in yourself preferbally from adoctor or such
however you can always check the internet of possibility of cancer disease in you but please do not be depressed about it as this is a dangerous sickness and better still go visit the doctor now

snap i have the same. Dr says tis benign too., and just going to rescan again in 6 months.
are they going to re check you again at some point?
if not arranged already would get this arranged.
been told they are common and most are benign so OK.
so wouldn't worry.
if it's benign, then go with that.try not to worry.x
best wishes. xx

I had one removed years ago because they were afraid it was cancer. It was not. I now have a mass of nodules that the doctor biopsied and it is okay too. The chances of it changing are not very high. I was told to get an ultrasound on it once a year to check for any changes. If you already know that yours is benign then I wouldn't worry about it. Just get it checked again when you are suppose to.
