Whitney Neighbors, who has diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and Loretta J. Nastoupil, MD, discuss the difficulties involved in accurately diagnosing non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the importance of a biopsy and proper imaging.

CURE: Combining science and humanity to make cancer understandable.

The biopsy should have been done before the rest of the undetermined tests in my opinion. When a lymph node does not go away after months and it’s grown or not it should be required to be biopsied. I’m glad to hear this was discovered in months and you had a great doctor by your side. Hope you’re doing well. 🙏🏻
Thank you for this information as I’m currently researching non stop for my 15 year old with a swollen lymph node that has grown in months. Was referred to specialist who will hopefully give us a date for a surgical biopsy and praying and hoping all is well. 🙏🏻

Why they didn’t biopsy that first lymph node is CRAZY!
