    How’s the lymph-node feel? Sore, or no pain? I had lymphoma back in 2020, my lymph-nodes at the time weren’t sore (didn’t hurt at all, even when touching them) and were hard as rock due to the tumors. If yours are sore and not rock hard that may actually not be the worst thing, but you most definitely need to see that doctor in 9 days!

      Oh shit, I hope you’re doing okay these days!

      Mine are occasionally sore, but most of the time they’re just tender to the touch. They are pretty hard, too 😬

        Thanks ☺️ I got “lucky” getting lymphoma lol it’s aggressive but thankfully effectively treatable! We caught it when it was stage 3 progressing to stage 4, and after 6 “memorable” rounds of chemo I’m 5 years out and tentatively in the clear! Helps I got it when was 27, so I was a bit more durable lmao

        Tenderness ain’t a bad thing at all! Hopefully put your mind at ease a little while you wait for your appt lol
