Called back to consultant after DS brain MRI

hello, my DS aged 7 has been having nausea, sickness and headaches since November and through lots of pushing managed to get an MRI which was on Monday eve - we were told to expect results in 2 weeks. Today I received a phone call from the paediatric consultants secretary asking myself and hubby to go in tomorrow at noon. I’m terrified. Has anyone else got experience of this? What’s scared me most is that they have asked me to bring hubby. They have requested that we don’t bring DS. I don’t even know what I’m asking for on this thread, maybe someone that has been in a similar situation? Thanks x

Another handhold from me, mum to mum. I can't even imagine how stressful this must be for you and your husband.

Really hoping your son is okay, above all else. 💐

I'm just so sorry it's taken you this long to get an MRI! Surely you can get fast tracked for one within a week if the GP thinks it could be something? That's 7 months ago :S

They've definitely found something or they wouldn't even ring (in my experience of lots of MRI's) I was panicking with my son when they asked me in, but they'd found something they weren't expecting rather than something really serious.

Hope everything goes ok for you tomorrow.

Hello everyone, unfortunately it was bad news. DS has a tumour at the back of his head measuring 2.5cm x 3cm. We are being referred to John Radcliffe and he also needs another mri with contrast dye. I’m feeling numb, hubby is a mess x

CoastalWave "Hope everything goes ok for you tomorrow."

The appointment was noon today, not tomorrow. The OP was posted yesterday.

Like everyone else, I'm hoping for the best.
