Hi!
I'm afraid I don't know what 23+ and 23- mean. They found it during a routine physical with blood tests. I didn't have symptoms. It has not spread to any of my organs yet.

23+ and 23- refers to the observable physical properties of an organism (in this case, a lymph node). From what I understand, if the surgical report of the biopsied lymph node shows 23 positive or 23 negative, that that is a prognostic indicator of your disease. Did you have a full resected biopsy of one of your lymph nodes and/or a PET scan?
