Hi all,
I hope you are having as best a day as you can.
I am a dad to a beautiful, courageous 18 year old daughter.
4 years ago she was diagnosed with a grade 2 astrocytoma and to date has had 3 surgical resections.
We were told that follow up scans were showing no re growth but now in the most recent on their most certainly is!
She has now transitioned to adult services and we had a meeting with her new Neurosurgeon.
He took a lot of time to explain her situation and to point out that for the best outcome he needs her awake during surgery.
Despite his assurances that there will be no pain she is understandably freaked out at the thought.
He has also said that in his experience these tumours always come back which has hit us all a bit hard and we are in shock.
She has been driving a year and loves it! She is about half way through her advanced driving.Having to stop driving is going to be a real wrench.
She also has just got her first real job and their is a real worry that she will loose this.
That's it in a nutshell but I do have 2 questions.
Does she have to surrender her licence immediately? and when would be the best time to tell her work and how?
