My best friend's dad is one his honeymoon right now and she doesn't want to tell him about a health scare that I am freaking out about. I think she needs to tell him!!!! Last week a masseuse found a lump under her arm and told her she needed to see her doctor about it. So she saw her doctor then the doctor refered her to a pediatric oncologist and said she needed a biopsy. Her parents still dont even know! Why the frick hasn't the doctor called them? She lives with her her dad and he is out of the country but he still gets calls. They could call him. She won't tell him cause she doesn't want to ruin the honeymoon. I think she shouldn't ruin it, and thinks a few more days won't matter. But they could!

I'm not trying to be like a drama queen but I'm worried. She's always been skinny but she's lost even more weight lately. She has been sick with colds and stuff no joke like 10 times over the year and she has been losing sensation in her right hand when she plays the guitar and paints. She's been getting night sweats and never sleeps anymore. Her uncle died of non-hodgkins lymphoma. I am freaking out. I want her to call her dad and get help now. Wouldn't you want to know?
She cant even get the biopsy without him filling out the consent form because she's 17.
 
I think she should call her dad and tell him what's going on. A few days might not matter however as her father I'm sure he would want to know right now. I would want to know and wouldn't care if I had to cut my honeymoon short. My kids are my #1 priority....she really should call. I'm sure she would feel much better having her dad with her to go to these appointments.
 
Some people are very private about their health. She doesn't know anything yet, so maybe waiting till the tests are concluded it's appropriate to wait. I think it's considerate to let her dad enjoy his honeymoon.
