My son and his lymph nodes waiting for results for lymphoma

Hi all , 

 

I was wondering if someone could help me with some symptoms. I'm worried about my son , he has had lymph nodes up for months in neck , groin and armpit . The one on his neck is extremely large and the dr said it is particularly big so sending him for a ultra sound to test it 
 

We have also had his bloods done which came back his white blood cels and platlets are up, I would think this is all viral but he has had more symptoms like serve night sweats and tiredness also the nodes have been up for months. 
 

 

  • Hello Hannahmarie

    I'm sorry to hear that your son has had some health problems recently which have concerned you. It's natural to be worried when your child is unwell. As you have mentioned it could be that his symptoms are viral and there do seem to have been some unpleasant viruses doing the rounds this winter. 
    I hope that you don't have to wait too long for the ultrasound and that the results bring positive news. 

    Best wishes,
