Hello, my daughter 19 yo with Ganglioglioma

HI Ribbit

a warm welcome to the online community. Of course its ok to be here. We're glad you found us. 

Sorry to hear about your daughter's diagnosis. Ganglioglioma is not a tumour that I am personally familiar with so I took the liberty of looking up some generic information- 

Ganglioglioma (GGL) | Brain Tumour Research

Any cancer diagnosis is scary. I supported my late husband through the 3 years of his brain tumour journey and I remember only too well how scared and lost I felt at the start of that journey. That's how I found this forum and the support I received on here over the years was incredible.

G had radiotherapy as part of his treatment and coped really well with it. His only real side effect was fatigue. He only lost a small line of hair around the area that the medical team targeted and it grew back really quickly once the treatment stopped. Here's some generic info from the main website about Radiotherapy - Radiotherapy | Types of treatment | Macmillan Cancer Support

This is a safe and supportive space so please reach out here anytime. There's always someone about who gets it, someone to hold your hand and to offer a virtual hug when its needed. You're not alone. We've got you.

It’s always good to talk so please remember that you can also call the Macmillan Support Services on 0808 808 00 00 - most services are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week Clicking here to see what is available. This service provides lots of cancer information, emotional support, benefit and financial guidance or just a listening ear. Not 100% sure if the number will work from Cyprus but there is also an Ask an Expert section on the online community that you can reach MacMillan direct through.

For now though I'm  sending you both  a huge virtual hug and lots of positive energy.

love n hugs

Wee Me xx
