General Discussion
Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsResults from my recent lymph node biopsy:
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100220893845And there were new findings: 3 lymph nodes outside my right lung had shown up. Two were considered suspicious for nodal metastases. The third one is larger and may be amenable to ultrasound tissue sampling if clinically indicated.
A few minutes ago, I finally got the results of the biopsy: NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
I was so sure the report would tell me that I had yet another malignant spot inside me.....But NO!
I am in the clear. Finally something has gone the way I wanted.
Thank you all for standing by me during this tumultuous time. I love my friends!

(1,145 posts)I am so glad you got this good news, CaliforniaPeggy. I had an ultrasound this morning, same result. Seeing that "no cancer" box checked off after a test was like letting the steam out of a pressure cooker. ♨️ Hope you take some time to recuperate from the stress. 😌

Tons of empathy here as I'm 5 years in remission for non hodgkin's lymphoma.
Very thankfully your results are negative for anything scary in the lymph nodes they biopsied
Wishing you continued in the clear!!
