After repeat returns to the GP and practice nurse about my DD's nosebleeds and snoring, and after repeat reassurance we are now facing a sinister outcome.
We weren't prepared to wait the 18 weeks referral given by GP to an ENT consultant so we went private.
The private Dr took one look in DD's mouth and said lymphoma.
The day after we were called to attend GOS that afternoon (yesterday) for consultation with Paed ENT consultant. Bloods and chest X-ray followed.
Last night we were called to come in for an MRI under GA which happened today and to be told she's having a biopsy on Monday.
So, an awful lot in a short amount of time and I'm terrified.
But...how do we involve other DD's 13 & 11?
Do we take them on this journey, giving them facts and information (selected obvs)
We're thinking of getting a hotel near the hospital for the nights (2) we'll be away for the biopsy.
Would this be too intense, upsetting or would them staying at home be worse?
