How Did You Find Out You Had Lymphoma? What Were Your Symptoms?
A MyLymphomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I went for my yearly oncology appointment for breast cancer I had 21 years ago when my oncologist felt a lump where I had reconstruction surgery. I thought it was scar tissue and she had me do an ultrasound followed by a biopsy where lymphoma was discovered in my axillary lymph node and not the lump she initially felt.

I was going to the ear doctor and he found what I thought was a lipoma on my clavicle but he said lymphoma. I went for a pin biopsy and then a core biopsy to confirm FL.

I was having a CT scan related to a potential genetic disorder and they found the enlarged lymph node deep deep inside. Something that should not have been found.

I had no symptoms. My doctor noted some unusual findings on a routine blood test and sent me to a hematologist. Was diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma and am starting my 5th year on W&W

I had shoulder pain after moving furniture and went on 2 rounds of steroids with no change. Went to Hospital For Special Surgery for a consult with an orthopedic shoulder specialist. Sent me for scans and discovered a mass in my cervical and thoracic spine. Had surgery and radiation and now I watch and wait!!! Having PET scans every few months.
