Lymphoma

Evening, I am new to this page and I just want some feedback really .. 

So here goes.

I am 43 and I've been feeling really tired for over 8 month now and have had blood tests done in Jan 19 and all came back fine , so I was putting my hair up one day and I noticed x2 lumps on my neck just near my shoulder blades .. so I got an appointment at gp.

I've been told my gp and I've had more blood tests and screening test and its come back with a trace of lymphoma in my blood .. I want to know what happens next as the gp has told me theres a trace .. I'm so worried x

    Hi there - I'm sorry you've got these symptoms it's horrid. I can't help with what might happen next but someone here will no doubt be along who can. My reply is just to say worrying is part of the awful process we have to go thro but not all outcomes are bad - not by any means. Try to keep busy if you can & post here as & when you feel the need. People who have been in your situation will give you some reassurance. Very good luck & remember you aren't alone x

    Hiya, 

    Thanks for posting a message to me :)

    As you have only had bloods via gp so far they will probably want to refer you to a haematologist who specalises in blood problems and they may refer you for CT scan/pet scan or biopsys to see where any problems are. I wasn't aware there was a specific screening test for lymphoma ? 

    I hope this helped a little. Sending you positive thoughts and hugs. Waiting is the worst part of all this i think.

    Take care xx
