Good morning, Alex, The next steps might be a biopsy of the lymph node to examine the composition to check for cancer cells. A bone marrow biopsy/exam (BMBX) may also be ordered. That gets right to the heart of the blood manufacturing site in the marrow. It’s not as uncomfortable as it sounds and if you do need one, request anesthesia…it helps. The BMB will give your doctors a clear picture of the cells. Some changes to blood cells can be detected in marrow samples before they can be seen in blood samples.
I’m sure you’re feeling really anxious with all these tests and results so I want to encourage you stay positive and optimistic. 🙃 Do you have family or friends around to help you work through all of these emotions?

Have your CT results been returned yet?
