I am sorry to hear that and thank you.

For me the needle biopsy showed malignant cells but a needle biopsy was not enough to be conclusive about the type and subtype of cancer even though they were leaning towards a lymphoma.
I had an open biopsy done under local anasthetic where they took out a nice chunk of the lump. This was enough for the pathologists to determine that it is Hodgkins and to determine the subtype as well.

Are you doing well now?
