I noticed a lump on the right side of my neck area, more in the collarbone area. I had the lump for approximately 3 months. Went to family doctor and was told to get CT scan. CT scan showed my lump and a few small nodules in the lung area.

Blood work came back and everything is normal.

Went to see another doctor at hospital and he did a needle biopsy. A few days later, nothing could be determined from needle biopsy.

Had an open surgical biopsy done yesterday (4/1).

Doctor called today to check on me and told me he is still waiting for results, but stated there was no puss in the piece he took out. (no infection)

I feel normal, not tired, not dizzy, no pain in the lump.

I've heard maybe Lymphoma or Sarcoidosis...
Anyone with similar experience, I would love to hear from you.

I am new and fearing the worst...

GOT DIAGNOISED WITH HODGKINS DISEASE TODAY...

Doctor thinks, Stage 2 won't be sure until I see the Oncologist.

Any advice as far as my road ahead and treatment and what to look forward to, would be greatly useful.

thanks
