PICTURES of Lymph Node Biopsy

Here is a picture of the slice of the lymph node that they took from above my collarbone. The cells circled in red are called Reed Sternberg cells; they are the cells that tell us I have Hodgkin's. The Reed Sternberg cells are only 5%ish of all the cells in the lymph node. An awesome pathologist friend took these pics for me. How wondeful is that!
