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

So pleased the surgery went well Flowers

Glad to hear the surgery went ok. Wishing your DS a speedy recovery from this. After weeks of pushing and time passed I imagine the past week has been so overwhelming. I hope the biopsy results are quick and they can get on with treating your boy.

Clic Sargent also have a house near JR you can stay in for free for as long as your DS is having treatment.

Big love I am hoping for positive news regarding the biopsy for you this morning xx

They’ve removed all of it!!!! So happy! But also feeling very numb! Not sure when I’ll break. I was worse last Wednesday than I have since they found it. He FaceTimed me from his iPad at 4.45am this morning and was very happy (anti sickness drugs 😂) so I popped over to see him at which point he was asleep again. So grateful for the surgeons, Ronald macdonald and the whole team here at JR. We are so lucky xx also thank you everyone for all your comments, they have kept me busy reading them and kept me calm xx pathology will take 7 days so we will know more then
