Max had a call from his doctor this morning asking him to come in and see her urgently - he has been very sick recently and she has received his test results back but wouldn't tell him what they were over the phone (obviously).

I am having panic attacks as Max had testicular cancer about ten years ago, his lymph nodes are swollen all over his body and he has lost 11kg in three weeks.

Sometimes I think it can be a case of knowing too much and worrying unnecessarily, but I can't help thinking the worst.

I am going to the doc with him at 12.30 and will let you guys know.

Please send vibes I am very frightened.

How scary, I hope that it is nothing big and easy to fix. Sending lots of love and that you are in my prayers.
It's always scarier when it's a love one and not yourself.

Just got back from the doctor and Max has glandular fever. Still not good news but definitely treatable and certainly not the outcome I feared. He will need a month off work and lots and lots of rest and recuperation - the doctor said it can take up to a year to go completely - but thank God it is not more serious than that.

Thank you for everyone's thoughts and quick responses - it means a lot.

I am sorry it's something that can take that long to recover from, but oh that is good news comparatively speaking!!

Sarah, I'm glad to hear that your fears have not been realized -- still, it will be a tough few months, and you and Max have my thoughts and prayers for a good recovery, as quick as possible.

Awwww shanks Sar I appreciate it. I've had it too but as a kid so can't really remember how horrible it is.

I'm going to be cooking and cooking and cooking and loving and loving and loving to make sure he gets back on his feet! I've been searching for ultra healthy recipes on the net to make for him...

Sarah - sorry I was asleep when vibes were called for, be sure mine would have been right there with them. How relieved I was to read through the thread and see that your worst fears weren't realised. Sending lots of "get well soon" vibes for Max.

Under the cats, mostly.
I'm glad it wasn't as bad as you thought - it will still be rough, but that must be ahuge weight off your mind. Get well vibes coming your way for Max
