Hi there, my husband (53) had an inflamed lymph node in his neck. The biopsy came back two days ago that he has FL low grade (1-2). My world has been turned upside down. We have two little girls (6 and 3) and I’m just so full of fear and anxiety. My research findings tell me that because he has a symptom (swollen lymph node) he most likely will have stage 3 or 4 but with FL that’s not necessarily as devastating as with other cancers?
We’re currently waiting on the referral to go through (we live in the US) and then the call from the oncologist.
If anyone could just help me…I want to be the best support for my husband and feel like I can’t get a grip myself.
thank you all,
Partner in New England
