Concerned Parent - our 12 y/o had a head scan yesterday

Hi, our 12 year old daughter had a head MRI scan yesterday, she has been complaining of a constant, worsening headache, blurred vision and nausea. She sleeps a lot, currently missing school. Now at the anxious waiting stage.

  • Welcome to the forum concernedparents although I'm really sorry to hear about your daughter.

    This must be such a scary time for you all, but I'm glad you've reached out to us as lots of our members will know what you're going through so you are not alone, and I'm sure it won't be long until some of them stop by to offer their support and advice.

    If you feel it may help to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're really easy to talk to and will do all they can to answer your questions and support you during this anxious time.

    Waiting for news is always tough, but I hope some of these tips we have on coping with the wait will help.

    We're thinking of you concernedparents and will have our fingers crossed everything will be o.k.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
