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

Oh dear @nearlymumof5 that's awful news. There will be lots of others in a similar position / organisations who can help support once you know more. You don't have to cope with this alone.

So sorry to hear this.
No platitudes from me would be very helpful but I'm a dab hand at the old Rosary and, if you have no objection, I'd like to mention your son in my nightly post Rosary prayers.
Thinking of you and your family. Mx.
