Lymph node
Hi, I have had a swollen lymph node for a year or so it hasn't gotten bigger and it is rubbery to move. I am scared to go to gp. Recently had blood work done and all was fine. Can you have swollen lymph nodes that are not cancer.
Thank you

Dear Mire
Thank you for posting your message on our ‘Ask the Nurse’ section. I am sorry you are going through various tests and investigations and have this worry regarding a lymph node. Sarah is right in advising you to get this checked out too.
We would very much like to talk to you on our support line. You have had bloods done and going through so much it can be good to talk to a cancer nurse on our support line about all of this and how you are. Our phone number is 1 800 200 700 and we are here Mon- Fri 9-5pm.
I do hope we will hear from you
Kind regards
Cancer Nurse
Hi Mire,
I had a swollen lymph node and got it checked. I know its scary but your better off getting it checked for your own peace of mind. Hope all goes well.
