Worried mum

We have had a new diagnosis for my 20 year old son, after a long 5 months back and forth to doctors and hospitals, 3 months ago following a biopsy we were told its not a cancer. Therefore a little frustrated but I have faith in the NHS for the best treatment. 

He has an unusual and rare form called rhabdomyosarcoma, which is more common in young children, 

We are now waiting for a appointment ASAP (I hope)

He is a little innocent to what this MEANS for him, which is good and until we have been to London I don't know what to tell him.

This is our story so far, anyone else had similar 

  • Hi M-sMum and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sorry about your son's diagnosis but I'm glad you finally got some answers and now know what you're dealing with.

    I thought you may want to have a chat with [@Goldenplover]‍. They recently found out their 6 year old has rhabdomyosarcoma so will understand how you're feeling and will hopefully pop by when they can for a chat.

    Fingers crossed it won't take too long for that appointment to come through and a treatment plan can start to be put in place.

    Best wishes to you all,
