I feel gulity posting this. 5 weeks ago I got a high probability diagnosis of a Neuroblastoma. I had attended for numerous scans and there was a mass in the olfactory region (nasal cavity extending to brain). ENT and Neuro Team met had a MDT meeting and I had Biopsies 3 weeks ago. Preparing myself for a cancer diagnosis I received a call from my consultant and the tumour is benign. FABULOUS news hence why I feel so gulity blogging on here. However I'm really struggling to come to terms that I have a benign brain tumour, I'm scared to be on my own and just finding the whole thing overwhelming. I know I lucky but is there any help out there for me. X
Hi and welcome to the Mac Community.
Very concerning times fir you but great that the mass is benign- what a relief.
This like this can indeed mess with your brain, the majority of folks on the Community are living the cancer journey or supporting family on the cancer journey and I am sure that everyone will be happy for you.
The circumstances surrounding the lockdown will make life more challenging but taking with someone may help you a lot.
Can I highly recommend our Macmillan Support Line Services on 0808 808 00 00 This service covers Emotional Support, and Practical Information mostly open 9.00 to 5.00 but check the link but you may find the service very busy at the moment.
We also have an Emotional issues group so you may want to join and put up a post in this group.
