Been a bit worried because my son's body has been aching so much over the last couple of weeks. He keeps feeling nauseous too and last night his ankle was swollen and itching like mad. He was in so much pain I had to help him out of bed and to get dressed
Trying not to burst into tears (I've become such a wet blanket), I called the lymphoma nurse today and she suggested we bring his 3 monthly check forward.
Feeling slightly panicky. Had hoped she'd say this was all perfectly normal and I was worrying unneccessarily. She didn't.
Teensy bit terrified but we will just have to wait and see.
