Can I get some good thoughts please (UPDATE #2)
I have these swollen glands behind my ear, they have been there for months. I went to the Dr. about it and he just said "oh, that is normal, don't worry" but they are still swollen and very visable
I am going back to the doctor for a re-check and I want them to do a needle biopsy to find out what is going on
Positive thoughts please 
TIA
Update:
I went to see my primary care dr. and he said it is PROBABLY nothing (may be scar tissue, etc) but the only way to know for sure is to biopsy it. I have an appointment with a ENT dr on April 8th
Thanks for your good wishes, you are the best 
UPDATE #2
I went to the ENT doctor today. He said he is not sure what is causing the swelling and the only way to know is to remove the lymph node. I go in on 4/24 to get it removed, it is an in office procedure using just local anesthetic 
Wish me luck. thanks

I get them also...my doctor said they were swollen lymph nodes/glands that get bigger when I have an infection or am getting my period. I hope and pray for you!

BUt do yours still stay swollen when you are not sick? That is what is concerning to me, they are painless but do not go away after my sickess is over

When do you go back to the doctor??
I have an appointment on thursday. I went online to check out some possibilities...BAD IDEA (I knew I should not have done that)  
I will update this on thursday after I see a different doctor.
Has anyone had this? swollen glands that remained swollen for over 6 months?

I can tell you that my DH has a swollen gland behind his ear, it is always like that and nothing is wrong.
But I can't tell you the last time he had it checked, he said it has been like that for many many years

Re: I know it may seem so insignificant with all that is going on but can I get some good thoughts please
ok, are they your lymph nodes or your glands? Get some blood work done, it will put your mind at ease if all lab values come back in normal range. Some people have bigger nodes than others but they should not stay enlarged for long periods of time, unless you have some kind of infection *it can even be a minimal infection). My girlfriend had a bad infection in her earring hole and her lymph nodes in her neck were really swollen. Im sure you'll be fine, but blood work is alwasy helpful
