I don't get it, with all these symptoms, he is 99 % sure it is not cancer!?!
Question: I don't get it, with all these symptoms, he is 99 % sure it is not cancer!!?
My son is 8, he has 4 swollen lymph nodes!. The bigger one is now less than 1 cm!. night sweats(really bad) especially around neck and back!.on and off low grade fever,itches alot, especially in evening, headache on side of head nodes are on,bloated stomach, and feels weak at times!. Is not excessively tired, though!. Went to surgeon, finally!. He was reluctant to do biopsy, said he was 99 % sure it is not cancer, even with all the symptoms!. We are scheduled next friday for biopsy, because I insisted!. My question is, can you have all this, and it NOT be cancer!? I am going to be so happy to find out it is all ok!. Does all this mean something!. Or, is this doctor doing the same thing other people warned me about!. Oh, and he lost 6 pounds in three weeks, but is still eating!. ThanksWww@Answer-Health@Com

I don't want to panic you, but I would definitely have the biopsy done if I were you!.
My mum had a tumor in her salivary gland that was there since she was in her 20s!. It was benign for most of that time, however, some time recently it turned cancerous and spread to her lymph nodes!. The oncologist doubted that it was cancer, he didn't even really believe the results of the biopsy when they came back positive, simply because in the standard medical opinion they rarely turn cancerous!.
Its better to be safe than sorry, it may be putting your boy through a little bit of pain, but it will be worth it!.
Anyway, I hope all is well and it's only something simple like a flu!.

Go with your gut, Mom!. Yes there are syndromes that can mock some of these symptoms!. If the doctor blows you off!. By all means go for a second and third opinion!.

If you doubt the first doctor, then get a second and third opinion!. Children get all sort of infections and it is possible that your child is fighting off one!.

In fact, I would have taken my child to the ER long ago!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
I don't believe it is cancer either!. It sounds like an infection!. The lymph nodes are usually swollen accompanied by a fever!. But you should still see your doctor so that he can be treated with antibiotics and it doesn't spread into something bigger!. Hope he gets better soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
