Lymphoma/Radioactive Iodine

I have recently been treatex for thyroid cancer. Full thyriodectomy and radioactive iodine treatment. Prior to my diagnosis i have had multiple swollen lymph nodes in the neck for years. During my radioactive treatment on the exit scan, the tracer had picked up on lymoh nodes under my jaw. The doctors are saying it could be of a recent infection but i know i have not had any and they have been there for years. Could it be lymphoma? anyone has experience??

  • Hi joname,

    It's good to hear the doctors aren't too worried about this, but I can understand it causing some concern. I'm not sure if they are investing this further and whether you're currently waiting for any answers - if so, hopefully you'll get this soon. If not, then try to discuss any questions or concerns you have with your doctor so you can get some reassurance.

    Wishing you all the best,
