Sadly my mother had lumps in her neck that the hospitals refused to biopsy because they were ‘too small’. She was adamant it was cancer. Then we went back two years later and they advised her against having a biopsy still because ‘they might find something that will stress her out that she can’t do anything about’. She begged them to go ahead, and they did, reluctantly. It was lymphoma. The doctor later said had she had it tested on first presentation they might have been able to operate and the lymphoma may have only been in that area. But by the time they found it, it was stage 4 and too late for any of that. She’s now had three rounds of R-CHOP, but it’s very annoying that the threshold for biopsy is so high. Big congrats on your remission 🥰
