I have a nearly 20 year old son who has learning difficulties. He mentioned last weekend he had a bit of earache, and i had a look but there wasnt anything i could see. He never mentioned it after that, but when he came home from college on Wednesday i noticed a swelling. I called the Dr who told me to go to the surgery immediately and he checked him over. He said he was referring him to the Head and Neck 2 week wait and that i'd hear from them. First thing Thursday morning they called and have given him an appointment for 24th November. So now i am stuck panicking about what it is, and worrying myself silly. I've convinced myself he has lymphoma, the wait is absolutely driving me insane and its only been 48hrs.
