My 15 year old daughter has just been diagnosed with tectal glioma brain tumour after a whirlwind week of MRIs. She’s just had a drain put into her brain to help removed trapped fluid. Monday is the first multidisciplinary meeting to get the formal diagnosis for staging. How do other parents cope with new diagnoses while supporting their other children, while continuing to work full time and juggle hospital appointments? I’m a solo/single parent and I have no family to provide any kind of support emotionally or with my other children. Feeling totally overwhelmed. I’m also not sure how to tell my other teenagers - my youngest is 13. Advice welcomed. Thank you.
