Does anyone have any experience of this? Slightly beside myself - got appointment with ent on wed so hope to know more then, but we have been warned that they will probably take his tonsils out to biopsy them.
Ds is 3 1/2 and has snored loudly for probably a year. Last week he had a temperature of 40 and general lethargy. I took him to the doctor who saw one v large asymmetric tonsil (not red or pussy). She has referred us to the ent. Rationally I know the likelihood of non-hodgkins or hodgkins in a child this young is v rare, but with a long wait ahead google is becoming my best friend and worst enemy! He is generally v well, eats like a horse, never ill. He has lost weight (don't they all at this age - he has also grown over a foot in a year?) and sometimes sweats at night (not drenching).
If he had a lymphatic cancer would he recover totally in 24 hours from the fever? Going round in circles here but would love some rl experiences to relate to. Thank you in advance.
