My 18 yr old has just had a ct scan and it’s likely it’s lymphoma. He is having biopsy tomorrow. We are devastated

Hello Janelouise
I'm sorry to hear that your son is facing a possible cancer diagnosis. Undoubtedly this will have been incredibly difficult news for you all to hear and natural that you have concerns and questions.
We know that for many people this period of waiting and uncertainty can be hard. Hopefully after tomorrow's biopsy the specialists looking after your son will have all the information they need to give a clear diagnosis and you won't have to wait too long before they can give you some answers and reassurance about the treatment plan.
Our nurses will respond to your post as soon as they are able to but in the meantime, if it would help to talk things through with one of them, they are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can along with helping you think about any questions that you might want to ask the specialist doctors.
We will be thinking of you all tomorrow and over the coming days. Keep in touch Janelouise and let us know how you're managing. We're here for you.
Best wishes,
