<s>[INST] Hi, my mom is in remission from nhl stage 1, it s been. 1 year. Today she feels a tiny lump behind the neck and it pains when touched very hard, is it some cold symptom or a relapse, what should I do, her next routine check up is in a month, would a pet scan be needed [/INST] Hi, Dear,Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns. Cause and plan of Treatment-In my opinion on the given data, you seem to have a relapse with neck node mostly. FNAC biopsy under PET scan would resolve the issue. Pain in neck -node is due to the tumor necrosis.Don't guess more. I would advise ER Surgeon Consultation to avoid further complications with it. Hope this would resolve your issues. Act fast. So keep cool and Consult your ER Surgeon, if need be, who would treat it accordingly. So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you, but just ask a query to Chat Doctor and be comfortable to resolve your health issues. Welcome for any more query in this regard to Chat Doctor. Write good reviews and Click thanks if you feel satisfied with my advice. Have a Good Day. Chat Doctor. N. </s>
