Hello hen,

Thanks for posting, it's good to hear that your tests have come back clear. I hope your scan went ok last week.

All the best,

Hi,

Thank you for posting. 

I had my first AZ jab 10 weeks ago, the doctor discoverd a large lymph node in the arm on the same side last week, I'm waiting on an ultrasound but scared stiff as I had melanoma in my lymph nodes 9 years ago on the opposite side.

I hope your doing ok and wonder if you could post an update once you know, keeping my fingers crossed for you x

Thanks for your reply. Had a ultrasound and core biopsy on lymph nodes in neck this week. Radiologist thinks it will be a lymphoma diagnosis because scan showed more enlarged lymph nodes in stomach area. Getting my head around it and waiting for diagnosis of specific type. Hope you are moving forward with yours and not worrying too much. Easier said than done, I know.

Sorry to hear this, I know how scary it can be to be left hanging and waiting for a definite diagnosis and plan. After the melanoma I got diagnosed with leukaemia 3 years ago just before my wedding, at the time it was awful, I felt very confused & lost, however I’ve been on a targeted oral type chemotherapy (a tablet everyday) and apart from bouts of fatigue & a few other minor things I’ve been able to live a normal life. Just wanted to say there are so many treatments these days that if it is, hopefully you will find your way through. X

Message me if you need someone to talk to, I know how difficult it is. X
