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.

Neurologist just rang and said great Ormond street got back to her and they said they don’t think it’s a tumour either and they think it’s just a developmental thing with her brain which is great news ❤️🥰 my heart nearly fell out of my body when I saw what no caller ID call come through. I'm so glad I could cry. ❤️

Christmas is back on 😊

I have just broken up from primary school(HLTA) for Christmas , feeling exhausted after all the Christmas events at school. Your latest post has rejuvenates me. I am so happy for you and your gorgeous little girl. I wish you all the best Christmas time! I think you’re very wise to talk of therapy at this stage and recognise what you’ve been through. Your little girl is very lucky to have such a wise mum. Look after yourself and your bundle of joy. 😀

Merry First Christmas to you and your beautiful girl. I hope that you are enjoying it now that you can relax a bit. Oh and The Fear is definitely a thing. Now your heart is outside your body and soon will be walking around hell bent on self-destruction in new and inventive ways every day.
