Hi Michelle where ever the Lymphatic system and blood flows Blood Cancers like Lymphoma can follow.
It would take a clear biopsy and CT to get a diagnosis as there are over 60 types and subtypes of Lymphoma alone.
Thank you. I have had this lump for a few years and was told it was ok by gp but then it’s started to grow and had a scan and biopsy so was just trying to work out what it could be
I see you have been posting around the groups and I can understand as you just won’t answers.
You did not mention that you had had a biopsy done. This is the main tool to look for Lymphoma as even although Lymphoma is a blood cancer it will not show up in the blood - crazy!!! But done blood irregularities can point to having more tests.
Lets see what your biopsy says and take it from there.
I have been on my 22 years journey and even after a shed load of treatment ai still have a lump on my neck - it changes size but this is more to do with my fidgeting with it all the time resulting in my wife throwing a slipper at me.
The lump is fatty tissue and not a problem.
((hugs))
