Hi all and thank you for the add to your group, my 11yr old as recently been diagnosed and started his treatment on Monday, he's already had a shunt fitted to drain fluid from the brain and started his radiotherapy on Monday, radiotherapy will run for 6 weeks Monday to Friday weekends off and will end on 27th Dec and our consultant meeting is on the 31st, he's been a soldier and so brave and we are so proud of him xx
