My wife just visited Ukraine to visit her mum. while there is was advised to have a scan by her mum.. so she went to a specialist, and afterv scan it showed a growth of 9mm in the Lymph node, in the throat.  He said it mustnt get more than 1 cm, and she is to have a scan every 3 months to make sure its not getting bigger.  what treatment should she take? Could it be a cyst? She is awaiting her blood test taken in ukraine.  will she be able to have a scan in england every 3 months? We live in Cambridge, which specialist should we contact?
