The Scare.


Sarah and the kids took a trip last week to visit the Nielsen side of the fam. While they were there Sarah noticed a lump on Camden's neck. After a day of no relief she took him to an Insta Care in Denver. The doctor found lumps on the lymph nodes in his neck, underarm and in his groin. She was told to take him to our pediatrician as soon as they got back to Utah.

Thursday morning Sarah and Cam went and saw the doc. After taking a look at him, they sent him to Primary Children's to get some tests. The doctor said that they wanted to "rule out any type of cancer".

Sarah texted me at work and I ran up and met up with the both of them. Cam had x-rays and blood tests done. It would take two hours for the results. That was a long two hours. The words cancer and Camden should not be used in the same sentence. I figured that it was nothing but was uneasy none the less.

Finally the test results came back NEGATIVE. They are not sure what has caused these lumps. He will see the doctor again on Monday but having cancer ruled out is a huge relief.
