Childrens mri

Hello

Was wondering if someone could give advise to a very worried and scared mum.

A lump was found on the roof of my little ones mouth in June.

He has had x rays, cone beam xray and an mri which was 3 weeks ago.

I had a phone call today from the hospital saying that the doctor wants to see him ASAP. I am so scared of what this means.

Should I be expecting bad news?? My head is all over the place. 

 

  • Hello Gmwkar and welcome to the forum.

    I'm very sorry about the lump that was found in your son's mouth and for the worry this call from the hospital's doctor has caused.

    I know it will be difficult but try not to let your mind run away with you or jump to any worse case scenarios as there could be a number of reasons why they've asked to see him. I know this still won't take the worry or fear away but I hope the tips and advice given in this article on how to cope with waiting for news will help until you find out more.

    Hopefully some of our members will offer their support and advice to you soon but in the meantime we'll have our fingers crossed your little one will be ok.

    Kind regards,
