What Does The Scan Report Findings Suggest?
My 16 yr old son was diagnosed with aml and all leukemia nearly 3 years ago .. We had a scan resterday which shows multiple enlarged lymph nodes and one being 31mmx20mmx8mm and shows loss of normal fatty hilum and minor intrinsic vascularity ... He started 3 years ago with a mass of tumours in the same area and wrapped around his heart.. He has no other symptoms this time maybe looking pale that s it.. What would your opinion be. We are having biopsy tomorrow xx
