Full node removal

Hi everyone,

I just had a full node removal of a deep cervical node (~3cm) two days ago. The doctor said that the preliminary results of the biopsy looked good, but that it had to be sent out for further examination. I am wondering what types of results others have gotten from biopsies (to give me a range of options) and whether anyone got a diagnosis of lymphoma after a preliminary "looks good" from the doctor. My followup appointment isn't for a few days and I am just curious about what the range of possibilities is.

Thank you for any help you can offer.

You will have to wait for the flow cytometry test to be finished before a final diagnosis can be provided to you.
