The biopsy should have been done before the rest of the undetermined tests in my opinion. When a lymph node does not go away after months and it’s grown or not it should be required to be biopsied. I’m glad to hear this was discovered in months and you had a great doctor by your side. Hope you’re doing well. 🙏🏻
Thank you for this information as I’m currently researching non stop for my 15 year old with a swollen lymph node that has grown in months. Was referred to specialist who will hopefully give us a date for a surgical biopsy and praying and hoping all is well. 🙏🏻
Thank you very much to both of you for the valuable information and May God continuing blessing you Whitney and special thanks to Dr. Nastoupil.
Why they didn’t biopsy that first lymph node is CRAZY!
The large lymph node and certain labs clearly can point to a lymphoma. I have Invasive lobular breast cancer. Among the assorted scans then a biopsy of an enlarged lymph node in my retroperitoneal abdomen showed I have Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. In one week I will be having a double mastectomy, they’ll see with the lymph node biopsies if the B cell NHL has spread to those breast areas under my arms.
I have some lymp nodes behind my neck and diagnose with NHL😢
How are you now?
