Swollen and growing lymph node in one year old

Hiya, my one year old has had one raised lymph node in his neck for 8 months. The last week it has grown and I'd say it's 2-3cm. I've been to the GP but he wants to "wait and see" even after I told him how worried I was and how my son really hasn't been himself for the last 2 months snd this lymph node has almost doubled in size in under a week. I don't know what to do! I'm very concerned. Please could anyone share their stories of symptoms of either having nothing wrong or unfortunately being diagnosed with cancer? 

  • Welcome to the forum Worriedmum321 although I'm sorry for the reason you're joining us.

    I know this must be worrying but I hope it helps to know that we've had quite a few posts from other mums in exactly the same position so you are not alone and hopefully some of them will be along soon to share their experiences and advice.

    In the meantime, if you have more than one doctor working at your GP surgery, you could try getting a second opinion.

    We're thinking of you Worriedmum321 and will have our fingers crossed your son will be o.k.

    Kind regards,
