Hi, Last week my son had pain in his leg. It started about 12 days ago. The dr last week ordered an MRI for the next day. The pain in his leg was affecting his walking. The MRI stated that it is most likly inflammation, however they cant rule out a sequela of neoplasm in a distal location. I am pretty sure this means tumor, because his dr said it was tumor because they ruled out infection thru blood test. he has a mass of 2 x 3 cm and another one of 2 cm, they both are surroundded by fatty tissue. He sent us to the ER to get an emergency biopsy the next morning. When we got ther they said it was infection, i asked for another blood test and they refused then said weill it must be inflammed due to mosqito bites. He had 5. She said that if it is still there in 2 weeks they will biopsy it. His regular dr said that he will refer me to a different surgen if it doesnt inprove in 2 weeks, meantime they started him on antibotics(yesterday) just in case the blood test didnt pick it up. He has been more fatigued the last 2 monthes and his leg weakness is back. We had a lot of problems with him, once taken off of some meds, it went away until 2 months ago. He has had a ton of headaches, more then usual and more stomach aches then usual. No fever or night sweats. Very low immune system. The pain started going away 4 days ago. but the lump has not changed its size. I have been measuring it. It is approx 1 in by 1 1/4 in. I can only measure one of them. One thing that concerns me is that his doctor said that he would liek to see his white blood count higher and also the MRI report says that his lump enhances on MRI. I heard that if it is cancer it will be bright on MRI, no cancer then black. I could be reading too much though. Sorry for the long question, but I am desperat for advice. I dont want to lose my baby.

Take him to a different dr. Bring his test results with you from all the test done. Dont let them tell you no until they rule everything out. I would look for a learing hosptial in your area. They do most finding of different things normal doc wont look for. I have been down this road with both of my children, they treat you like you are a over protective mother and nothing is wrong with your child. I told my dr something was wrong with my oldest son, he told me not to worry about it until one of his testicles was the size of a small peach at the age of 5. I told him he had a hernia but he did nothing until it was that big. My youngest use to turn blue around his lips all the time and they told me dont worry about it. They ran blood test and watched him for weeks. I then looked some stuff on the web and demanded a ultra sound. It showed the whole in his heart. ( that was what was causing the blue lips.
SO RESEARCH HIS SYMPTOMS SEE WHAT IT COULD BE AND THEN MAKE THEM DO THE TEST. I WILL TRY TO RESEARCH SOME STUFF ON FRIDAY I WORK IN A CLINIC AND REPLY IF I FIND ANYTHING.
