Is Lymphoma Possible

Hi all , I have a 5 year old daughter who has an Enlarged left tonsil(about 6/8 cm). She has been treated with antibiotics, had a throat swap and tested for GF all negative . Full CBC revealed slight anemia(which doc said is dietry) and Slightly raised bloods.(not sure which)red i think. She has lost 2 kilos of weight in 12 months , is always pale and has night sweats also. She has a chain of lymph nodes (small) down either side of the neck. She has enlarged adenoids and a dull right ear .We are currently on the ENT waiting list for Removal of tonsils and adenoids, the left tonsil is going to pathology. Sometimes during the day she feels warmer than usual, although her energy levels seem to remained the same! Is this anything to worry about and how long should i be waiting on the list beofre chasing the hospital up (uk/NHS)

Hi, I don't know about children with lymphoma but I do know that they should remove one of the nodes and get it to pathology. I had biopsy [5 ] on one node on my neck and it came back neg.My Dr. sent it to the mayo clinic and it came back positive for b-cell non-hodgens.I did get a second opinion. If at all possible follow up with the DR. and try to always get a second opinion. God Bless ,Susi

I have Hodgkins Lymphoma.  I think it is very important for your daughter gets a biopsy as soon as possible.  It took my doctors about a week to prepare for a biospy on my neck.  So, If you don't get an urgency, I would call another phsycian.  God Bless and my prayer will be with you both!!  Please keep us posted.
