Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
A sub centimeter neck lymphnode is most likely non cancerous if you do not have any other problems. However, you need to keep a watch over it and return to your doctor if the lymph nodes are growing in size, new swellings are appearing elsewhere, you are having fever and weight loss or your blood tests are abnormal.
