Can someone explain this to me please?? reactive lymphoid hyperplasia

[Guest guest]

This is what my results say... " Left cervical lymph nodes removed(from

my neck)sections reveal reactive lymphoid hyperplasia and sinus

histiocytosis. Ther is NO definitive evidence of a

lymphoproliferative process,granulomatous lesion, or metastatic

epithelial malignancy. "

As I research and try to figure out exactly what it means, I get more

confused. Everything points me to cancer,lymphoma,hodgkins. Can you

have these results and still have those diseases? It was my

understanding when the surgeon said no cancer, that's what it really

meant? I havent met with the oncologist yet. If anyone can help me

understand this better, I would greatly appreciate it! Im ok, dont

worry, Im not. Im just confused. Im ok either way!

Thanks so much, Lynne
