Lumps
Hello all,
I’m currently at the hospital with my LO. We noticed a lump on his neck and found out his lymph nodes have swelled and have lumps. One on each side of neck and under arm pit. Has anyone dealt with this before ? They want to put him under and check for cancer but I’m worried about procedure and if it’s necessary to do something so drastic if this will just go away in a week. It’s been a full day of blood test, cat scan, ultra sound and now they want to do this to figure out why he has swollen lymph nodes.

I am sorry you are going through this. My son has two swollen lymph nodes on the back of his neck and my pediatrician said as long as they are small and mobile it is probably nothing.
Sorry to hear you're all going through this.
Is it a biopsy they want to do? Because having had all those other tests and investigations it is likely they need a sample of whatever is going on for a treatment plan. I understand it is stressful and scary, but they wouldn't recommend doing the procedure if the benefit didn't outweigh any risk to the procedure.
Sending you lots of love and positivity, I hope this is something that will pass easily for you all 🩷
The biopsy would be necessary as the tests don’t always confirm. I went through this with my brother and its better to clear that it’s benign or not
Hi is there an update on this please, hope he’s okay?! My little one has some up too xx
