Hi. My Son has had swollen lymph node now for a few months. We went to the doc who put him on a 2 week referral but we attended a private ultrasound scan whilst waiting for the appointment. The scan showed what the doctor thought was a reactive lymph node.he said he would expect it to go down over the next few weeks once his body had fought off whatever it was reacting to. My Son has attended his nhs referral this week (5 weeks after 1st gp appointment) and the doctor took another ultrasound and fine needle biopsy. Apparently she said reactive lymph node but wanted to find out what reacting to. When they did the fine needle biopsy she was surprised as the liquid that came out was blood! My Son said she seemed surprised at this as it's not normally filled with fresh blood? Has anyone experienced this? He also had full bloods done and it's another 3 weeks wait. I am going out of my mind. I'm so anxious about this it is making me poorly all whilst trying to reassure and support him! Has anyone else had a similar experience?
