Lump 2 cm supraclavical node left side found over 2 weeks ago on my 15 year old sons neck

Hi, I’ve lost sleep and cried non stop. The worry is unreal about my 15 year old son’s lump on the left supraclavical node. We were told 4 weeks for a scan!!!!!

I’ve asked the dr to speak to consultant paediatrician, now have an appoint tomorrow 12 March 2025.

I’ve not discussed  with my son of the possibilities of the c word. 
He has no sign of infection illness and blood fine. Anyone else going through this with a 15 year old?

  • Hello Son15, 

    I just wanted to wish you the best of luck for your appointment on the 12th of March. I hope that it all goes well and it's great that you will get to speak to the consultant paediatrician. Having to wait weeks for a scan is truly nerve racking and I am so sorry that you have lost sleep and cried so much as many parents who have been in a similar situation may have done before too. It's reassuring that his bloods are fine and he has no sign of infection. I hope that you will hear from others here who have been through something similar with a 15 year old. Try not to worry too much if you can as there are so many other things this could be other than cancer and I am keeping everything crossed for you that you will get some definite answers soon. While you are waiting, I thought I would also share with you these helpful tips to help you cope while waiting for important news. 

    Keeping everything tightly crossed for you and your son that it all turns out to be nothing worrying and that you get some definite answers very soon. 

    Best wishes,
