I need advice please possible lymphoma

So today a nurse called me and told me my results from the pet scan I had. My lymph node in my lung near my heart showed up on the scan. She told me they are looking for lymphoma or sarcoidosis. I have an appointment tomorrow with the consultant to go over the scan in further details and the next steps. She also said I will need a biopsy of it but they need to talk to the cardiologist as I have had 2 previous heart attacks and they want to do it as safley as possible. I'm 32 with two kids. Can't think clearly atm on what to do. Is there any questions I should be asking tomorrow or any advice anyone has from previous experience. Any would be helpful thank you 

  • If there anyone who can give me advice before I could I would appreciate it alot thank you 

  • Hello Kelv

    I can see from your post that you're due to see the Consultant today for the results of your scan and to discuss the next steps. 

    It might be helpful for you to have a chat with one of our nurses if you have time before the appointment today. I'm sure they will be happy to offer any advice, information, and support they can. If you'd like to talk with them they're available Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
