Son has been diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumour - I'm so worried for him.

My son has just been told he has brain cancer following a 1st MRI- we have waited 2 weeks since a 2nd profusion MRI for a clinical appt and they think this will start with surgery; so more waiting for that. I am so worried for him. Any good news stories or hope will help but I know no one can tell me the outcome.

Hello WorriedmumMax

I'm glad to hear that your son now has a date for his surgery. It's understandable that you'll be feeling anxious about this over the next few days, but as you say, hopefully there will be some positive news to follow.

Keep in touch and let us know how things go. We're here for you.

Best wishes,
Jenn
