I don't really know where to begin.
In December my 10 year old son had a sinus infection , nasal speech, Covid . He was noisy breathing and sounded chesty so I took him to the doctors , they said it was bronchitis and large adenoids/ tonsils , gave antibiotics which didn't help , then he was prescribed inhalers again they didn't work , 2 weeks ago he started struggling to breathe at night , really snoring , had a stridor and breathing pauses . I took him to A&E and they said it was sleep apnea from large adenoids. Gave us a nasal spray and told us to wait for our ent appointment in June . I wasn't happy with this so I booked a private ent appointment. I asked for an X-ray as something was really affecting him . Then we see a mass in his throat . I went straight to Evelina hospital in London and last Friday they removed as much of the tumour from his throat as possible. After surgery the consultant said she was 99% sure it was cancer , likely to be lymphoma as this is what initial histopathology suggested. Said we would be transferring to Royal Marsden for treatment this week . He had MRI with contrast yesterday morning, CT scan today . This afternoon, the consultant came round and said we can go home .... and that his MRI was clear , no evidence of any residual mass , unremarkable appearance of surrounding glands , unremarkable appearance of the brain and no cervical lymphadenopathy. They have said they still don't know what it is as biopsy hasn't come back , could be a genetic issue or ' a freak one off ' told to wait for a call with CT results and up to 2 weeks for a call from the cancer centre ???!!!
I don't know what to think ? They jusy kept saying it's baffled them and that it's a very rare occurrence.
meanwhile my son is completely back to health, all obs fine , bloods fine , eating and drinking better than he has in months . His voice is completely normal!
neber been so confused
can the initial biopsy be a false positive???
