Hi everyone Slight smileIm  new here. My name is Julie. I had Hodgkin's lymphoma 3B in 1987. Been in remission ever since   so got ultrasound on neck tomorrow as I have some swelling. I may be wrong but I can feel a rubbery lump. So waiting and trying hard not to be too scared.

  • Hi I know exactly how you feela coz  I've got the results of my CT n MRI scans tomorrow. There's a technical term for it on here - scanxietySo let's wait together n remember to breathe!

    Aww bless you . Yes definitely scanxiety! I really hope you have good news tomorrow.

  • Hi again  and good to see you have found your way across. As I said in your New to Community post I relapsed a few times over my 22 years with my rare NHL. But at the same time I have had more suspected relapses that turned out not to be a relapse.

    There have been a few folks in the group have had a relapse, although I suspect not after this amount of time but they have went on to get this treated.

    My last treatment (Stem Cell Transplant) was back in Oct 2015 and by the end of 2016 I had a swelling appear on my neck…… it was all checked out and it’s still there “one of these unexplained things Mike but nothing to worry about”

    Lets look for a good way forward for you ((hugs))
