Long story short
neck excisional biopsy and pet scan ( subclaviculr lymph nodes pet scan showed not much elseJ
On Monday I was told that the haematology pathology showed Sternberg reed cells indicating lymphoma, hodgkins. They were waiting for markers from pathology on the other half
today I had to go back and was told
squamous cell carcinoma metastasis
All I have is a series of letters and numbers CK7+, p40 +, ck20 -, p16. +, TTFI (-) EBER(-)
they say I have a tumor in my neck and in the thoracic area, but not the lungs. Possible primary source elsewhere.
in two days the diagnosis has gone from hodgkins to god knows what.... I have been referred to gyny next week and they will have a cancer meeting on Wednesday and phone me with a plan... is this normal. I'm so scared
