Mass on brain 4 month old baby

I don't even know where to start but I took my daughter (4 months) to the GP as she's done this flickering eye roll ever since she was born and they thought it was linked to reflux as did we but they referred us to a paediatrician just to be sure. They did an mri and eeg which showed seizures but found out yesterday that she has a 2cm mass on her brain. I am absolutely devastated and don't know where to go from here. They haven't given an indication as to what they think it is and we are just waiting to hear from them. All I'm thinking is the worst and I can't stop crying. I've been thinking about how I'm going to kill my self when my daughter dies. I feel hopeless and that I don't have the strength to do this. She is my only child and I tried for over 3 years to have her with miscarriages in between. They thought she was missing her cavum during pregnancy so that was traumatic too. I don't know what to do, I can't believe this is happening to us.

Your beautiful smiling DD doesn't seem too bothered does she?!
Still thinking of you and hoping for positive news

No news from the hospital today guys so I'm going to take that as a positive. I'm still really anxious as I know there's definitely something but glad it's not urgent enough to have us in straight away. She met the big guy for the first time today. Shes definitely on the nice list 😅

No news is (hopefully) good news OP. Your little girl is glorious and the Santa photo is just lovely ❤

strawberriesarenot · 28/11/2022 19:04

Your baby is a little peach.
If it's any comfort, when my friend's small daughter got a positive cancer diagnosis 4 days before Christmas, no time was wasted. They said, 'We'll give her Christmas day,' and had her in on Boxing Day.

(This was a long time ago. She just got engaged.)

AntiqueCestChic · 28/11/2022 19:15

I know that all babies are lovely but oh my goodness your little girl is absolutely adorable- what a beautiful smiley face!!!

Keeping everything crossed for positive news🤞

KirstenBlest · 28/11/2022 19:29

@strawberriesarenot , thanks for a positive post - so happy for them.
Let's hope that it all goes well for this little girl too.

Brenna24 · 28/11/2022 20:14

No news is definitely good news. And she didn't scream at Santa. Amazing day. Everything crossed that it continues.
