Follow-up appointment with surgeon

A short and direct appointment, we are there a bit early and Dr Hyashi sees us as soon as he is in, we are his first appointment of the day.  I have the results of the biopsy and the node removed was abnormal, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, Follicular.  Next step is a referral to the specialist which he will do and I should hear back from them in a few days.  We ask a few questions but really we are too overwhelmed to think.  This is exactly what I expected to hear but hearing it is far different.
