Eye Drusen - Panic Please Help!

Hi, I wondered if anyone else has been diagnosed with disk drusen?

My son who is 19 was diagnosed with lymphoma when he was younger and I have had severe health anxiety over him ever since, even thank thankfully he fully recovered and been fine since.

He went for his first routine eye check up at specsavers on monday, and although his eyesight was perfect, he has been given a non-urgent referral to the eye hospital. This was because although his left eye is perfect, his right eye had "raised nasal margins". The optometrist said that he suspect disk drusen and has referred him for "confirmation of diagnosis" and future reference. He has no symptoms, vision great, no headaches or sickness. The optometrist was great and assured it wasnt anything to worry about.

However I cant sleep for worry, I did the worst thing and googled this, and the more you go into it, you can see links to brain tumours etc. I just wondered if anyone had experience of what my son has, and is it a rare occurance? Google says that less than 2% of the population get it.

Hope someone can put my mind at rest, there is nothing worse than worrying about your child.

Thanks
