Suspected Leukaemia

I found some lumps in my daughters neck this weekend. Wasn’t too worried (thought it was her glands), but took her to GP just in case. What he said floored me. It COULD be leukaemia. But it also could be a virus causing her lymph nodes to be inflamed. He found far more lumps than I did, but he won’t order the blood test for another 4 weeks to see if the lumps go down on their own...which would happen if it was a virus. But I’m not sure I can wait that long. She is 6 and otherwise fit and healthy. Is there any way of speeding up the bloods? Any private places I could take her to? Willing to travel anywhere in the UK if it means not waiting (and worrying for) 4 weeks!

All sounds so tough and extremely frustrating for you.
I hope you get to the bottom of it quickly

Hi, how’s your child doing? My son is going through the same.
