Reactive node!

Had another ultrasound today and am very relieved to report that all is normal and the node - I had to point it out to the doc, so invisible was it to the ultrasound scanner - is of normal ("sausage") shape and not enlarged. Most likely a "reactive node" to my cough/cold form a week - nothing to worry about from their perspective.

He scanned all of my neck and didn’t see anything. My heart pounded heart on the examination bed - the last ultrasound led to my diagnosis.

At that time, when I was diagnosed with HL, I had nodes raised all over the neck, both sides. They were visible on the ultrasound (when I looked) - big pools of white with fluid inside. 

So when they ultrasounded me it was like OH YAH something is really wrong. 

But on this time he was looking all around and saw nothing which is great, and I even had to point out where the node was. 

So, slowly but surely, I am trying to adjust to the fact that I am okay. And likely cancer free.

Will try to write another chapter soon.
