I am sorry to hear it.

Yes, anything is possible when you are speaking of cancer. There are no "rules" that the disease follows.

I will pray for you to get well. (My own mother died 7 years ago from Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.)

Yes it could be Hodgkin's relapse, sorry to say that. I have had that experience a few times in my clinical practice. PET scan is fairly sensitive at picking up relapse in Hodgkin's and 1.7cm node is certainly very suspicious.
