4 years ago I posted here asking for a hand hold and for people to think of my then 11 year old DD who was having major abdominal surgery to remove a large tumour.
She was in theatre most of the day, and one of the things that helped me get through the hours and hours of waiting was coming back to the thread. Hundreds of people took the time out of their day to think of someone, somewhere and a little girl. I didn’t expect it to be, but it was strangely comforting.
The tumour was a rare type of neuroblastoma, which we found out once the histology was completed. We continued to be looked after well by the oncology team, and I’m happy to say that she’s in remission with no reoccurrence expected.
So, thank you mumsnetters - you awful nest of vipers
