Please hold my hand - cancer.

[Trazzletoes]

Currently in hospital since last night with DS who is 3. Scans show masses on his brain. Drs believe them to be tumours, likely to have come from his abdomen.

Waiting for more scans/tests etc. staff are being overly nice to us which is worrying me more (though they did refer us to social services last night as they thought DH or I had fractured DS' skull.

Feel incredibly sick. He is 3 years old. Please hold my hand.

Thinking of you all, sending lots of positive vibes from my splodge of light in Glasgow. X

Sending love and strength from the Cotswolds x

Good news that he's getting the MRI done tonight. Well some his drs for fighting for that. I'm sure they wouldn't let him have 2 GAs close together if it was harmful. Try not to dwell on the fact you might not see him beforehand, you'll be there when he wakes up.

His gruff also rucksack filled with yummy snacks sounds great

Praying that the scan and the biopsy bring some positive news and that the chemo helps. Really hope they get the results back sooner.

Do let me know if there's anything I can send. Always here for you at any time, just wish I was closer to be of more help.

DH sends his love and DD sends big sloppy kisses.

That should have been gruffalo rucksack... Bloody iPhone!

Glad you are now getting offers of help from people.locally. also :) at Tje griffalo rucksack full of goodies :)

Sending love and light from Leicestershire.

Sending very best wishes to you, your gorgeous boy and family. There's a light here in South Yorkshire for you all xx

There's a light shining for you and your precious little boy in Berkshire. I hope tonight and tomorrow goes smoothly. I'm thinking of you xx

Only just seen this thread. I am just so sorry for what you and your darling boy are going through. Sending love and positive thoughts your way.

Sending you all the strength and love for you and your family to deal with the diagnosis. My heart goes out to you it really does as it's the worst thing to be told .. Ur world stops. There are other mums and dads who are on mums net who are wonderfully supportive, I think the thread is called children with cancer. Make sure you look after yourself, remember to eat and drink as you need to keep as strong as possible x x

Sorry I didn't want to jump to conclusions about the diagnosis but the parents on that thread I mentioned are amazing and have very good hand holding skills as they all sadly speak from experience . Sending you more hugs x x

Thanks Spirael, Dawn and someone else I saw in the area but can't find again... I'm certain that I will be calling on you soon enough. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Buffy. I'm smooching your DD right back. With jingly jangly bells on. Argh, her gorgeous cheeks!

Hammy you didn't. Don't worry. They are as certain as they can be without having test results. There is nothing else seen as even a possible option.

Another light splodge from Soth Bucks, sending much love to you all x

I am so sorry you are all facing this. He is gorgeous!

Love and light and hope from Somerset.

Love and best wishes from Devon. Can we do anything from afar?

I've lit a candle on my mantelpiece for your boy Trazzle and it will stay lit every evening until he's better. A little splodge of light from south east London. Xx

A bright splodge from the North East for you.
Your DS is truly beautiful. They are so precious and little, but remarkably strong and resilient too. Make sure you take care of yourself as well as your dc.

A light for you and your little lad in Melbourne.

I am thinking of you and your beautiful boy and hoping he's enjoying the surprises in his Gruffalo bag (((())))

Thinking of you all and your beautiful boy. Hope all has gone well with the MRI today and goes well tomorrow. Echo what PP's say - my DD has had 7 op's and always been hungry after coming around - they seem to tolerate it better than adults!

I'm not sure which hospital you are at but ask the nurses if there is a Ronald Macdonald house nearby - it's a charity which provides accommodation for parents of sick children either within the hospital grounds or close by and the whole family can stay if necessary. My DD is under St George's in Tooting and we stayed there when she was having a big op - it meant that one of us could be on the ward with her on a super uncomfortable pull out bed and the other could be close by getting a better nights sleep so we could alternate nights which is so important when you need to keep your strength up and get some rest.

Big hugs from here in Guildford, Surrey and thinking of you all so much. My DD was born with birth defects so we spent a lot of her first 2 years in hospital so I know how tough it can be especially when you have another child at home.

Thinking of all of you over a difficult night.

As well as hungry he may be v thirsty. Lightly chilled drinks are brilliant. Ice lollies can help. He may do superbly aimed projectile vomiting too, and then still be hungry. So bring the wet wipes and a couple of extra changes.

Don't forget for you, if you wake in the middle if the night, things always seem worse. It's called the 3 o'clock blues. But there will be someone on this thread who is also awake and thinking of you.

Keep us updated if you can.

Light from Northumberland and another hand to hold. In our thoughts and prayers.

Just checking in to see how you're doing. Really glad they're getting him in for his MRI tonight. Hope he enjoys his snacks

Still thinking about you all and here if you need anything xx
