DS (6) is having a thoracotomy on friday so they can take a biopsy of a tumour around his chest/neck.
Has anyone had experience of this? How long were you in hospital for? Was your child back to school fairly soon after discharge from hospital or did they need some time off to recover? I was expecting them to do another needle biopsy and a thoracotomy seems quite a big/invasive procedure.
