My 4 year old getting biopsy for lymphoma

[Arkie Mom]

My 4 year old son has had swollen lymph nodes for over 2 years, today his ENT decided to do a biopsy to rule out lymphoma. I wasn't that worried until I looked it up tonight. Now I am a little freaked out. He only had the one swollen until about 3 months ago, now there are around 10 with two that are very visable. He is also starting to get hoarse after active play. Anyone else had these problems? I have never posted anything in a forum, hope to be able to find this again. Thanks!

My 3yr old son is going through all this right now. He had between 80-100 mesentary  lymph nodes (abdomen) they found on a CT scan. some of the nodes measured over 2cm in size. He also has them in his groin and neck. Some of his bloodwork has come back abnormal as well. They did a bone marrow biopsy last week, which came back clean. We meet with the surgeon this week for the lymph node biopsy. They are thinking its a reactive, infection going on with my son. I hope its the same for your son! So scary to be going through this. Just know you are not alone!!

I don't know about kids cut I am going through that myself. I am so freaking out! I had 2 in my abdomen and I have to go back and get another CAT scan to see if there were any changes. So I will pray for your son and hope things are ok. Best of luck!!
