A related discussion,
leukocytosis,anti ds dna was started.
Any more news, have the results come back yet. Thinking of you xx
Hi,
If this is a representative lymph node, it should yeild the correct diagnosis.
Pl let me know when the histopathology and the immunohistochemistry reports are available.
Good Luck!
My daugher had her lymph node biopsy today. The surgeon said it was much larger than what we thought. He said we could actually only feel about 30% of it. There were 2 other large nodes with it. One of the major nerves ran through it, plus it also had a blood vessel so it ended up a micro-disecection. She came out of surgery fine, but when she finally started to come around, we were told the specimen was put into a wrong type of container and they could not use it to test the lymph node!! She ended up in a 2nd surgery today to remove another lymph node. This one was much smaller, more like a bb right under the skin. Will this still be OK for testing?
Thank you again for your responses and help!
Hi,
Good Luck! Pl let me know the test result.
Thank you for your quick response. We spoke with surgeon today. He said the lymph node on her right side is actually closer to 7cm. We are scheduled Tuesday for a biopsy.
Hi,
It is important that lymphoma and leukemia are ruled out immediately. An FNAC or a biopsy with histopathological examination and immunochemistry will help in this matter.
A bone marrow biopsy and a whole body PET-CT would also be informative.
All the best, and God Bless!
