The patients of almost all blogs on Hodgkin's I read were female in their early twenties. Many of them experienced swollen lymphoma on their left neck as well. I thought it would be a good idea to show a picture of how my lymphoma looks as a reference. This image was taken about one week after my first clinical visit, presumably 1~1.5 months since it started swelling. When I touch it, it feels like a ball of flexed muscle.
I had a long hair, and I wear a turtle neck or scarves around my neck most of the time, so it was difficult for people to notice, and even for myself because it never hurt. I learned that just because something doesn't hurt, your body can still be going wrong.
