Only a biopsy of swollen lymph nodes will
reveal if your fiance's Hodgkin's lymphoma
has relapsed or is she she is experiencing
an infection. Swollen lips and itching
could be due to an allergic reaction but
at this moment, the most important
clinical need is the evaluation of the
swollen lymph node. A Hodgkin lymphoma can
reoccur after 10 years. Following medical
protocol, a fine needle punition of the
lymph node should be the next diagnostic
tool.
