I don't know the exact size of mine, but after my ENT removed it, he said it was about the size of a baseball.

Had a lemon sized version myself. The radiation oncologist said to me that above 2 cc he couldn't treat it as well and suggested I have it removed.
I underwent a right radial neck dissection to remove the cancerous lymph node and it was a success. My surgeon did a super job and I had almost no bleeding and no pain. Out of the hospital in 2 days with another 4 days rest.
Scar healing up fine and a 2 weeks after the op I was in radiation.

Getting the cancer out of your body aids the rest of the treatment and gives you a better chance for success and recovery.

Mine is about the same size. I have done 2 months of chemo and now 20 of my 40 radiation treatments, still the same size. Once radiation is complete they will remoce the node.
