Update on biopsy results.

After waiting three weeks for results of biopsy in my neck, doctor finally called me this morning to tell me it has came back suspicious and she has ordered further testing which she thought would have been done so she is emailing them today. I just finished chemo in november and my last ct scan in December was clear so when she found another lump in my neck on my second follow up appointment she was concerned. She did say It’s in the salivary gland and not lymph node but the test will tell more if the lymphoma has came back. When I got the call from ENT doctor first time round, he said I had a grey area in salivary gland then told me I had lymphoma. I’m confused as I thought this was the same and the chemo sorted it all. I’m now worried if the salivary gland is my problem. Has anyone else had this problem? More waiting again now, she is posting me an appointment to see her this month.  Thanks for reading this post x

  • Hi, I’m afraid it was a little round hard lump, unfortunately my NHL had came back but as I have no B symptoms and feel ok, I have been put on watch and wait as it’s too soon to do more chemo. My X-ray also showed my lymph nodes at each side of my lungs are also growing back. I’m very disappointed about this but glad no further treatment atm as long as I’m well. Just back to hospital every three months probably for a long time but I guess it’s sumthing I will have to get used to.
