Sorry posting for traffic and don't know what to do.
Only days ago I was posting and worrying about a health problem of my self I feel so guilty.
DS 1 is 17 and has been experiencing stabbing pain under his left rib (know now its where his spleen is) been going on for ages it started to become un bearable so he finally admitted a GP visit was in order. TO give background to this Me and him have MH issues so going to the doctor is a massive anxiety point for him (and me). The GP thought it was either reflux but more likely an enlarged spleen all good so far we could cope with this. But she asked if he had any other symptoms anything atall he said; itchiness, tiredness and frequent urination. She checked his lymph nodes in neck, armpit and groin and said the ones in his neck were swollen. So sent him for bloods to check for infection- the GP also presicrbed some broad spectrum antibiotics. A couple days latter we were told to come back to discuss the results and were told that some of the liver enzymes were high- indicates a enlarged spleen. But said there was no sign of infection, so they're sending him for an urgent ultrasound scan within two weeks for a look to do a biopsy. I got worried at this point and asked what it could be the GP said it could be lymphoma and it needed ruling out. I froze at this point. I dont know what to do know, theres so many questions i should have asked same with DS. HEs a strong lad but when we got into the car we sat in silence for a minute and then he just cried. Hes in pain most nights its horrible Ive said if the pain gets to bad one night im taking him to a&e. I have 4 other DC at home and i dont know what to tell them, DH is saying dont worry it wont be cancer but what if it is.
Im so soory to ramble I just had to put it somewhere any advice is greatly received.
