Lymph nodes. Who/ what doctors to see?

[newbie0001]

I have had a palpable (1 in= 2cm diametre) submandibular lymph node under my left chin for several years and another lump behind my left year. They have been growing in size. Does anyone know what kind of doctors I should see about it? ENT specialist, oncologist or just GP?

In the West one would start with an internist/GP but in Thailand this is often not so advisable so I suggest you see this oncologist who is US trained and specializes in lymphoma. It may be over-kill in your case but better safe than sorry especially since lymphoma is not very common in Thailand. (Need to be sure it is ruled out by someone who takes the risk seriously and knows what they are doing)
