Hi Star11 and welcome to this corner of the Community although always sorry to see folks joining and sorry to hear about the tests that your son is going through. This is such a waring time for you all.
I am Mike Thehighlander and I help out around our blood cancer groups and that includes our Lymphoma groups.
Biopsy is the main tool that is used to diagnose Lymphoma so if the pathology is not showing Lymphoma that is great. Moving onto antibiotics is a logical step and lets see what is said at his next appotiment.

I would take encouragement from the fact that the consultant was proactive and went ahead with a biopsy, many would leave it and let the antibiotics do their thing and take it from there resulting n an even longer excruciating wait.
Blood cancers like Lymphoma are at times very hard to diagnose so doing a biopsy is the only way to rule this out or if he unfortunately is found to have a type of Lymphoma a plan can be put in place to deal with this quickly
Amongst all the many different types of cancers, lymphoma is the 5th common types of cancer in the UK. The research and developments over the 22 years I have lived and been treated for my type of Lymphoma is amazing making many of the 60 types of Lymphoma to become very very treatable.
The important thing to focus on at the moment is that until told differently - your son does not have Lymphoma ((hugs))
That is good news and let’s look for some progress to be made at the appointment ((hugs))
