Number of lesions on the brain

My older daughter has woken up and asked me if my head is feeling better today, how am I going to tell her? This is so cruel 

I'm so sorry to hear about this and I totally understand your present grief and disbelief. My heart goes out to you. I hope that you will see the oncologist very soon and get some advice on what treatments will help you at this time. It is brutal and beyond devastating for you and I'm sure there are others on this forum who will have direct experience of what you are going through now and when to approach telling your children. They are bound to know you are very upset right now but not understand why. So perhaps it is best to just explain that you are upset by the headaches still and that you don't know when they will go away but are hoping to see a doctor who will help you to deal with them. Give your children lots of hugs and treat yourself very gently right now. Macmillan has a brochure on how to tell children here http://be.macmillan.org.uk/Downloads/CancerInformation/ChildrenAndYoungPeople/MAC5766TalkingtochildrenE2.pdf  There is also this on the Marie Curie website https://www.mariecurie.org.uk/help/support/diagnosed/talking-children/children Thinking of you and your family and holding you at this time.

I’m not surprised your head is spinning. Yes it is cruel. Don’t write yourself off just yet.  Hopefully you will get to sit down with your see oncologist very soon.  Get a plan in place for treatment options.

Radiotherapy could be an option and chemo drugs, can you ring oncologists to speed things up.

I was diagnosed secondary Nov 16 as my first and only diagnosis. I’m still here.
