Hi, I have just finished treatment for lymphoma. My first appointment was with an ENT consultant who examined my neck and put a camera down my nose to check everything was ok. He referred me for an ultrasound and FNA biopsy. It was after the results of that I was referred to haematology department. I guess that’s what they will arrange for you first, it probably won’t happen on your first visit as they will take a note of your general health and examine you. There are a lot of tests before they can make a diagnosis. When my biopsy came back positive I had to then have a ct scan, a bone marrow biopsy then another FNA biopsy. This was to make sure they could treat me correctly. I’m afraid to say it was 3 months for me from going to my doctors to actually getting treatment. These tests all take time to get and even longer for reports to be done. You may be quicker than me, I guess it depends on which hospital you are in. I wish you well in whatever your results are, let us know the outcome and if I can help in any way, please let me know.

Hi scones,

Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. My first appointment was with the haematologist. During this consultation he conducted a physical exam and blood tests. He then referred me for a ct scan.
