Hi,
So back here again, but now after having sleepless nights I feel I need to explain.
Since Dec my youngest child has had a cold and a nasty cough I put it down to him starting football and playing out in the cold and also having the flu jab. His cough had got a lot worse and on Wednesday I took him to our GP who said he felt it was viral. He then checked the glands on my child's neck .... this where I am freaking out. When my child was roughly 2 he had a very enlarged infected Lymph node that bad he had to stay in hospital. After a year of freaking out I saw a consultant who said that Lymph nodes go up and down and not to worry as my fears would have many other symptoms. My child's lymph nodes go up and dpwn but never away!!! I have had counselling on and off for 4 years with my health anxiety. My child has 'lumps' all down the side of the neck. The Dr has asked us to go back in 2 weeks if they haven't got smaller as he feels they need to be looked into ..... que my freaking out. I asked why and the Dr brushed me off. My husband told me not to panic as he seems to think a Dr wouldn't let a child go 2 weeks if he thought a child would have cancer!!!!! I can't stop crying and just lie awake praying it isn't!!!!
