The reason I said lympnoma is because that is what my oncologist said, she didn't say I had it she just mentioned it sometimes occurs in the neck area, she also suggested the 6 week wait period I don't know why. However she didn't seem to concerned because my blood work came back goood, my ct scan did show my lymphnode enlarged so maybe that is why she suggest the pet scan...she also did say it would be breast cancer reacurrence but when nodes are enlarged in the neck it could be lymphnoma.
