Oncologist, Surgical,  's  Response
If you are sure that the swellings that have grown are lymph nodes, it is better not to neglect them. A swollen lymph node of duration more than 5 months cannot be nothing. It is mandatory that you see a oncologist, and either get previous report examined or a fresh biopsy. Also imaging in the form of CT scan or MRI maybe advisable. All can be decided based on examination. So it is highly advisable that you see an oncologist. It could be lymphoma, tuberculosis or some rare infection.
