Follicular lymphoma

Hi. My husband was diagnosed stage 3 a few months ago.

He has developed a small lump in lymph node under chin a month or so ago. Hospital said not to worry about it. In the last four days it has grown to 2 1/2 inches wide and very visible and is painful. He is reluctant to ring but I think he really should. He is tired and clearly stressed about it. 

Please advise.

  • Hi Ariela and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I can see you're hoping to hear back from our nurses so I just wanted to let you know that they don't work over the weekend.

    They will respond to you as soon as they can when they return on Monday but if you're worried, it would be best to get in touch with your husband's medical team or to give the NHS a call on 111. They will do all they can to advise you on what to do and hopefully put your minds at ease.

    We're thinking of you Ariela and will have our fingers crossed everything will be o.k.

    Best wishes to you both,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
