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.

Oh OP, I am so sorry you are going through this. Your beautiful girl has so much love in her life, you are the best mum she could have.

My DS spent a lot of time seriously ill in hospital as a baby. Being his support was one of the hardest things I have ever done but it also makes me proud, retrospectively.

One small thing we did, was we took in our own kettle and mugs so we could make drinks when we wanted. That little piece of home had an amazingly comforting impact. It made me feel a little more in control in our hospital surroundings.
