Hi there,

Sorry to hear about your son and of your concerns. Perhaps the first thing you may want do is to make an emergency appoitment to see your GP and perhaps you may also want to get in touch with the specialist nurse at the clinic/ hospital department that is treating your son. Explain to them the nature of your worries and discuss with them a possible plan for teating your son. Courage and Good Luck.
