DS has brain tumour

We finally got his MRI yesterday after waiting 5 months and there's a mass in the area that joins the 2 hemispheres. Of course, it was all systems go down to the childrens hospital in Manchester because the signs are that it's fast growing, that's why he's gone from 'funny turns' to daily seizures and then to 50 seizures per day. But when we got to Manchester, surprise surprise, they're not going to do his biopsy until 'some time next week' - he'll be slotted into their system.
So we came back home again.

He's well in himself, bouncing around like mad.
I'll let you know more when we know more, re benign/not.

You poor family, but the lack of emeergency is a good sign surely?

thinking of you all

Lio · 22/07/2005 14:25

Oh Droile, what an absolutely dreadful time for you, hope you are feeling supported. Lots of love.

dejags · 22/07/2005 14:29

Droile,

What a difficult time this must be for you. Have they given you the medical term for the type of tumour? What about management of the condition or does that depend entirely on the outcome of the biopsy i.e. will he need surgery?

My thoughts and best wishes are with you and your family

love
dejags

50 seizures per day and you still have to wait to have a biopsy done?!

Droile, is there anything we can do?
