Back in July our beautiful 5yr old granddaughter started to have siezures for no apparent reason. For her a parents and all of us this was a real worry and a horrible thing to witness. We were all on constant watch as there were no apparent triggers. This lovely, bubbly little girl who is always smiling didn’t understand why people were so worried about her. The attention from our local hospitals and our amazing air ambulance have all been involved in journey and they have all been outstanding in their help and support to my family will always be entirely greatful for their professionalism and prompt response. The outcomes of tests showed that My granddaughter had a 3cm tumour in her brain, as you can imagine we were all devastated at this news but The team around her had our little one packed up and ready for the next stage of her journey to Bristol’s children’s hospital. With in 4 days She was having major brain surgery, an operation that lasted 7.5 hrs. Thanks to their amazing work she is all singing and dancing again, no issues with speach or weakness on her right side.
BUT.. the results have shown that she has a rare and aggressive type of tumour and is now on a program of 6months intensive chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This has hit us all like a bull dozer knocking the soul out of us.
Im trying to be strong for both my granddaughter and daughter.. and that I can do when I’m around them but behind closed doors I am in turmoil. I am not sure what the outcome will be..scared out of my witts.
I cant even begin to imagine how you are feeling and how this is impacting on you. It doesnt sound like anyone knows with the outcome will be but hopefully it will be positive and you need to think like that until you know otherwise.
I so wish I could say something that would make any of this better or a little easier for you but there is nothing I can say that will do that except to let you know that others are thinking of you and will support you as best we can whenever you need to chat or just sound off.
Meantime Im sending some huge big hugs your way. xxxxxxxx
Thank you Gail.. no matter what type of cancer anyone is facing, whether it’s yourself or someone you love it is so out of your control.. you do everything in your life to protect those you love.. but with this.. your rendered helpless. Xxx
