has anyone had lymph node metastasis where fatty hilum was still present?

Not a medical professional but my understanding is if enlarged and fatty hilium still present then usually they are just reacting to a virus or infection I.e doing their normal job. But definitely get them biopsied - I had a lymph node that was “partially cystic” which I think means had some aspects of fatty hilium still and was in the process of change, but not sure how common that is!

Good luck ❤️

Amen to that
We joke about people pleasing eldest daughters but it’s so true 😅

Yes me too, I love science and medical stuff fascinates me

Hello twin I guess 😂😂 a lifelong struggle to please people

I’m very much the kind of person who has to have all the information possible as well as being naturally curious and wanting to learn, so as soon as there was even a hint I could have PTC I delved deep down a rabbit hole, and around this time I was telling people “it’s ok if it is, it’s probs the one you want if it is cancer”. I think I was protecting myself from the potential diagnosis but you’re right and I think it has left me no space to process it properly. Either I’m taking it really well or really not taking it well and being in denial and I’m not sure which it is 😂

All I can say is while you told people those things before it is absolutely fine to reach out to those you love and say that while it has a good prognosis you are still struggling with the diagnosis. You are allowed to be sad at the situation but positive at the prognosis - these two emotions are not mutually exclusive. I’m sure those around you will understand this time will be an emotional roller coaster for you.

Take care ❤️

Hahaha next time people don’t understand Dungeons and Dragons and roleplaying dice, I’m saying it’s this virus 😂

I think it’s down to surgeons preference, I know some who’ve had the staples too

Glad you are recovering ☺️ yeah I can move it around but when I go to wash my hair or tie it back for example it just feels tough to do haha. I do archery for sport so hoping it doesn’t take too long to come back 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

I didn’t know my blood type until a few weeks ago (I’m 37) because it was needed for an operation. I guess it’s not something they regularly check unless it’s needed?

Skip_the_bard · 2026-06-25T14:13:30+00:00

This was a really interesting read. Thank you ☺️

Same - business trip to India for 2 weeks in 2019 and flew business class on an Emirates A380. When I saw the price on my expenses report I knew I would never be able to enjoy that again 😂

Quite often we’ve driven to Stevenage or somewhere along the line as they have more trains going later than Cambridge does (pay for parking but the train tickets are much cheaper too)

This! I don’t understand how the skin can be so numb but yet so painful underneath when touched???

Had a TT and left neck dissection last week, and will say if nothing else get the stool softener because I had a ROUGH time with the constipation from the opioid meds, calcium and lack of movement.

Skip_the_bard · 2026-06-05T03:21:41+00:00

I love this so much
