Possible lymphoma based on enlarged lymph nodes

Hi everyone, I felt a pea-size lymph node in my neck a few months ago which has grown to over 3cm in 3months, and there are now more enlarged nodes around that first one (but smaller). I had an ultrasound scan and the notes say that the appearance is of malignant lymphadenopathy which might be lymphomatous or metastatic (thank you NHS app for having some of the notes!). I’m now waiting for another urgent appointment for a biopsy and CT scan.

From the notes it reads like it is lymphoma so I’m mentally preparing for that, I’m not sure how it could be anything else at this point?! I’m not sure why I’m posting but I’m keeping a lot of this to myself so I don’t worry people, and it’s hard waiting isn’t it?! Thinking of everyone who is waiting for an appointment.

  • Hi guys, just to update you I got my biopsy results today and unfortunately there is cancer present. It’s not lymphoma but they haven’t identified from the biopsy where it has originated from so I’ve now got more tests and waiting before starting any form of treatment or getting a prognosis. I had a Mammogram and blood test today, I’ve got an MRI on Sunday and waiting for a PET scan appointment. Hoping you guys end up being luckier than me! Xx

  • So sorry to read this, have you had your PET scan appointment through yet? I had my biopsies and PET last week so now I’m waiting for all the results on the 22nd.

    Sending positive thoughts and hoping your results come through quickly so you can get some clearer answers and next steps x
