Well where do I start.....

 

My eldest daughter, Abigail, (she's 4) been a bit off lately, being naughty and not eating her food, then we noticed she's loosing a lot of weighty and drinking all the time, by that I mean hiding cups all over the house so she can have a drink, then she started wetting the bed and had no control over her urine production, she would need to go every 5 mins... We thought she may have diebetes.... It's been going on for a about 3 weeks so we got her in to the Dr's and they did a few tests and found nothing, they took blood and said to come back in a week... This was 12 o'clock Wednesday, at 5 they rang and said she needed to be admitted to hospital for tests.... Imaginably Lou and I were worried. Well they donecsome more blood tests and today took her for an MRI scan......my 4 year old daughter has a brain tumor! The Dr spoke through a fewcthings but tbh I/we were in shock and didn't really take a lot in... To make matters worse they confirmed she has diebetes as well.....I think making the phone calls to tell family was the hardest things I have ever done.

It has really put life in to persective, things that mattered before now seam very trivial....

 

Don't know I feel the need to unload on here, never though I would.... Never thought I would need to.....

 

Don't really know what else to say......still in shock .....

Mate, I'm gutted for you and your family. My thoughts are with you and your family, and I hope you all get through this OK.

fookin ell bud, terrible news, i always find solice in the fact that other people will have been through this and came out fine, although there may be hard times ahead, there is no reason you wnt come out feeling fine

 

i have no real comforting words or reassurance other than i wish you with all that i can the best in the world

 

there are people here that are thinking of you and can be very supportive

 

all the best

 

Allan

Keep strong mate, I'm sure your daughter is in the best hands. These things can be sorted.

Mate, I'm real sorry to hear that and I know it's easier said than done but try and stay strong for your family. You have everyone on here when ever you need to unload.

 

Take care

 

Vijay

I can only imagine what you are feeling right now buddy :(

Devastating news to hear.. Nothing else really matters above your family.

My best wishes to you and yours.

I've got kids myself bud, i can only imagine what it must

be like for you. I hope everything works out for you and your

family.

I am sorry to hear this, my thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time!

Neil, sorry to hear what must be devastating news for you. I'm sure you are all shocked and probably pretty scared right now. I'm know I speak for everyone here when I say I'll be thinking of you and your family and wishing you the best. It's hard to read a post like yours and not feel empathy.

 

The great thing about this club is that there are so many people here who genuinely do care. As vijay said, everyone's here if you need to unload. A friend of mine had a brain tumour and I remember how hard it hit him. I'm happy to say that he made an incredible recovery and is now the same sarcastic, annoying git he was before.

 

I really hope there's some good news for Abigail on its way too.

 

Simon.

Sorry to hear this mate. I know what its like to be on the otherside of the phone. Just had some bad news myself with similar circumstances.

 

All the best mate and chin up! Im sure she'll battle through it

 

Nick

You've got my number if you need anything.

Really sorry to hear your news buddy; I'm a doctor training in Neurosurgery at Leeds General - we see some amazing results with kids. Try and keep your chin up and let me know if theres anything I can help with.

Im am really sorry to hear this , its so upsetting , esp where kids are involved.

 

You need to be strong for her , kids take what you say to them as parents for granted , if your postive then so will she.

 

Although it will seem dark right now ,think of the postive, they know what is wrong and medical operations are so far advanced now that Im sure she will be come through it ok .

 

My thoughts are with you, your daughter and your family.

 

Puts all our daily problems into insignificance.
