Sir i am afraid of the side effects of the 3 scans i have done.....Please guide me....i am worried

Please help me , report attached

In January 2022, I discovered a large lymph node in my supraclavicular region. After undergoing blood tests and medication, it shrank on its own within a month. However, around 7-8 months later, a small lymph node reappeared. Despite consulting multiple doctors and undergoing FNAC and additional blood tests, all results indicated normalcy. Despite this reassurance, my anxiety heightened due to online information. Today, I underwent a USG, and the radiologist informed me that the nodes are present but are all normal in size. The sizes are 1.4*0.4cm and 0.5*0.4 cm. They advised against further action, as the nodes are healthy. While some doctors reassured me, one suggested a biopsy, leaving me confused and deeply depressed. I'm uncertain about what to do next and would appreciate your guidance.
