Default Swollen lymph node??

Hi everyone. I have "rediscovered" a swollen lymp node in my neck, below my left ear.

About a year ago I noticed that the lymph node behind my ear was swollen. I didn't pay attention to it then. But this week I have had my neuropathy symptoms exacerbated and I have been doing some reading.

I came accross in the net with this article:

http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB...asp?Doi=117230

The abstract describes how some peripheral neuropathies can be caused by lymphoma.

I continued searching and I found this:

http://jkms.org/fulltext/pdf/jkms-19-130.pdf

This article also explores the relation between peripheral neuropathy and lymphomas.

After reading these articles I immediatly remember the swollen lymph node I had then discovered and it's still there, as swollen as I remember.... Is this an issue I should explore??? If so, who should I explore it with?? With my regular neuro or with another doctor??

Thank you

Monica
