Lymph nodes in remission

Hi again Megan , lumps and bumps like this can often come and go. The treatments used in lymphoma can leave us with reactive lymph-nodes and also random fatty lumps.

I have a pea size ‘left over’ lump in my neck, it appeared at some time after my treatments had finished, I just found it one day, got it checked and it was ok....... let’s look for the same for you .

My main challenge is I keep fidget it and this results in it getting inflamed and sore and this it’s really annoying to my wife who will throw her slippers at me with the words “stop playing with your neck” ((hugs))

Thanks so much- I hope mine is the same as you!  So stressful :-/

Hi Megan, 

I am in a similar position as you. In my last cycle (or what I thought was my last cycle before I turned down radiotherapy therefore having another cycle in next few weeks) I am sure one of my nodes was inflamed. 1 week after my last chemo I noticed a lump, which may have been the same one. This is in my neck, same place as before. It's not got bigger but cant help touching it so probably more inflamed than it should be. I have raised this so will keep you updated over next few weeks after my last cycle if you like. I am also speaking to someone else who found a lump on their last cycle. They have been in remission for around a year, lump still there but no cancerous. So that reassures me and hopefully you too.

Thanks so much for the response.  Yes mine is very small and something is never think twice about before all this.  But finding many things stressful in remission.  Congrats on almost being done and prayers for both of us for long lasting remissions!
