After fruitless visits to the GP with my daughter (age 17) about her crippling headaches, we were sent to the hospital after a regular eyesight test when an optician saw swelling behind her optic lenses (Thursday). She had an MRI scan yesterday morning which showed a 6cm mass to the front right hand of the brain. DD currently in hospital having steroid treatment to reduce some of the swelling around the mass so that they can properly assess the type of mass before discussing options. Devastated and so anxious as to what might happen next. Has anyone experienced anything similar and can help me make sense of this all? I'm really struggling and feel so alone (I have 5 other children and was widowed 2 years ago). Thank you.
