NHL DIAGNOSIS

Hi there 

I've just been diagnosed with NHL Low Grade B Cell, 

This was all found through a 3yearly mammogram. I had a recall and breast was all clear, but after ultrasounding armpit she came across swollen lymphnodes. I had biopsy there and then, then a CT scan few days later then results from biopsy were inconclusive so I ended up having an axillary excision biopsy where 2 lymphnodes were removed. Results came and it is NHL. I've now been discharged from breast clinic and referred to Haematologist to ascertain what type I have and put together a plan I guess...

If anyone can enlighten me to the next process it would be great, as I'm very much in the dark.

Thank you in advance
