Lymphoma (Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin)

Minimally prominent submandibular lymph nodes
Hi there. I’ve been having some weird medical issues that I feel like are still up in the air even after some investigation and I’d love input if I should be pushing harder for more investigation/get a second opinion or just let it go. In November 2021 I noticed a small visible lump under my right side of my chin when I…
Has anyone gotten Evusheld?
This is the COVID-preventative monoclonal antibody cocktail that's been out for a few months. For a while it seemed like people couldn't get or find it if they wanted it but this week NYTimes had a post about doses going unused and perhaps not enough people being aware of it. So are people in this community aware and has…
Sad news
