In a&e just told I have a brain tumour

[Wells37]

Just that really. It's 2cm ish on ct scan symptoms for 5 weeks. I can't stop crying. I just sent dh home as kids are at home.
Terrified

Phone your mum- I can guarantee she'd want to be with you right now

This waiting period to find out more is so tough. I hope they give you answers and a clearer picture quickly.

wishing you the very best to positive news. Xx

So sorry OP I hope they can treat it.

I'm very sorry to read this, I can't imagine where your head is at, what a shock it must be.
If you think it will help you right now then call someone, if you feel like you need time to digest it all and see what they say tomorrow first, then do that. This is about what's best for you right now.
Sending hugs and lots of positive energy x

So sorry; it's a tremendous shock.

As others have said, treatments these days can be very effective. Don't scare yourself Googling. I hope your husband can return and be with you. Best wishes.

@Wells37 Are you unwell? I ask as I wonder if you could actually get to go home tonight and return for the MRIs tomorrow? Hospital is a lonely place to be and even if it makes their lives easier to have you be an in-patient, unless you are unwell and need treatment or medication tonight you could perhaps go home?

I stayed the night before I got my cancer diagnosis and knowing what I know now I would ask to go home as being there wasn’t for anything other than making their lives easier but was upsetting for me… worth an ask or a consideration?

Ring your parents, they will absolutely want to be with you, as you would with your kids.
Sending lots of love.

I’m sorry OP. I know it’s easy to say but try not spiral. Wait until you have the facts and a plan and things will feel clearer going forward. Wishing you all the best and sending lots of love.

Am so sorry to read this .Try and keep off google because the outcome can have a million different scenarios depending on so many factors .
I hope your DH can come back in or maybe a bestie can come and keep you company.
You must be so overwhelmed and scared. Sending you positivity.❤️

Must have been so hard for you to hear. A lot to process. Sending you the very best wishes x

Can you ask someone to get you a hot cup of tea? Also some biscuits or something

I'm so sorry. You're in my prayers.

As others said-please do call your mother, she will want to be with you I think. Really hoping this is treatable and you're able to recover fully 💗

How scary for you. What a total shock.

I’m sure you are reeling.

really hope is not as bad as I am sure you are fearing.

So sorry OP, but one of my friends had similar around 30 odd years ago and she’s still around.

I'm sorry it's a horrid time for you. If you end up at Kings and need anything at all I'm happy to assist (am a Dr there), just take one day at a time, the steroids they'll put you on will likely make you feel a bit odd and disrupt your sleep but try to get as much rest as you can. Hugs xx

Sending you love and support.

I’m so sorry OP, but there is hope. I know a couple of people who have survived malignant brain tumours long term.

It such a shock when you receive a diagnosis of cancer.

The wait to find out what you are dealing with is extremely hard...

I am so sorry you’re dealing with this. When the panic rises tell yourself that you don’t yet know what you’re dealing with..just focus on getting through each hour. Don’t lose hope OP. Many of us on these boards have gone through that awful life changing moment… and many of us are still here to tell the tale. X

I'm so sorry OP that is one heck of a shock. Know that there is so much they can do now though xxx I just wanted to say that if you were my child I would want to know xxx

Sending ❤️

I’m sorry op that sounds rubbish

there will be a plan, albeit not yet

hope you get clarity and answers soon

It will be a shock. Thinking of you

Thinking of you OP ♥️

Sending much love across the airwaves to you.
