Hi, I’m new to the forum and I’m feeling a little nervous about posting as my partner doesn’t know. I’m waiting for him in Sainsbury’s car park while he spends the allotted 3 hours visiting time with his daughter at Addenbrookes. His ex wife is currently staying with their little girl there and they’re only allowed one visitor due to corona virus. so I’m just sitting here going slightly out of my mind with worry and thought I’d come on this forum.
We’ve been told that my little step daughter has a 3cm tumour in her brain stem which is about the worst place for it to be as it’s extremely hard if not impossible to operate let alone even get a biopsy. We should find out more on Monday but at the moment they don’t know if it’s cancerous or benign. We’re praying for the latter but even then if they can’t operate I don’t really know what this would mean. I’m scared to post incase all I receive is bad news stories, but any words of support would be so welcome at the moment. I’ve never experienced anything like this, we’re all so scared. Thanks so much in advance of any responses...
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I don't know anything about brain tumours, as I had a different type of cancer, but I didn't want to leave you sitting in Sainsbury's car park on your own.
Waiting for tests and results is a really horrible time but you've done the right thing in reaching out to this community. Besides cancer specific groups there is also one for family and friends. It's a safe and supportive place to share your feelings and get support and you're welcome to join that in the same way as you joined this group.
If you're still sitting in the car park I'll be around for an hour or so if you want to chat.

No problem . Perhaps we'll speak again.

Hi again, I’ve been waiting in the car park again today but I’ve had the company of my older step daughter who’s 13. She isn’t even allowed to see her little sister at the moment because of Covid but she wanted to chum me 
. We’re hoping that my little step daughter will be coming home on Monday at least for a day or so until they will take her back in for the next stages whatever they may be (should find that out Monday too). It will be so lovely for her to be able to see her sister.
Anyway I just wanted to update. Thanks again for your reply yesterday Latchbrook, it really meant a lot x
That's great that you weren't on your own today . It must have been very hard yesterday just waiting and worrying.
I'll keep everything crossed that your step daughter is able to go home on Monday and that the consultant has good news for you.
