Really early days but was told today I have a 9cm brain tumour. Spent most of the day in tears and angry.
My partners gone home. I'm in hospital. I'm scared to go to sleep! What if I don't wake up. What if I do.
I'm so angry, so confused.

Hello Brainyteacher
I'm so sorry to hear that you were told earlier this week that you have a brain tumour. It's understandable that you may have been experiencing a real rollercoaster of intense emotions over the last few days. I hope that the hospital staff have been able to offer some support whilst you've been coming to terms with this news.
Have the specialists talked with you about the next steps? Do they need to do further tests? Or is there a treatment plan in place?
If it would help to talk things through with one of our nurses at any point, you can either post in the Ask the Nurses topic area, or you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to fridya 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can.
Keep in touch Brainyteacher if it helps to have a safe space to put down in writing how you're feeling. We're here for you.
Best wishes,
Jenn
