New to this site and haven't asked for
med.Advice before. Am a mom of an active
teen who is 14. He has a lump under his
right nipple that is of concern to us.
An antibiotic was first used to see if the
lump was the result of some sort of lymph
node reaction to an infection. The lump
did decrease in size, but is still there.
( while that Dr. Said it was a lymphoma
--but not to worry because they're 99%
benign, he advised going to a surgeon if
it was still there after the antibiotic.
) had another "opinion, who suggested an
ultrasound first. Today he had an
ultrasound to determine if it was any type
of cyst, but they are now sending him to a
surgeon becuase it was not the type of
lump that is detected on their machines.
I am trying not to be too conerened about
this, but he is also having headaches
(plays football) and this is being dealt
with too. I am worried that the two are
related and am wondering if anyone knows
if
leukimias give off these symptoms in the
beginning. Am confident that my child's
doctor will put the two together if they
are somehow related. Has anyone had any
similar experience, or do you have any
related info. On teens with this?
thank you
