Little friend with brain tmour

Looking hopeful

Thanks for updating us Mishap

Thanks Mishap

I've just seen on FB that Bill does not have cancer.

I too have just read this when I came in - it is excellent news! And quite unexpected as tumours in that site in children are nearly always cancer - this is one lucky little chap!

He has a few problems with cerebro-spinal fluid not draining as i should, but they are to try and get on top if that later.

He has been through so much, and I have no doubt that there will be more to come for him, but let us hope against hope that the long term results will be positive. Everything crossed!

Resurrecting this ( and presumably Mishap knows loads more!) to say that Bill and his family got home to discover that their house and been 'broken into' and had lots of decorating done, the garden tidied, a new shower and a new kitchen fitted! Aren't people wonderful!!!!

I'm not sure of the details but I think Bill has a permanent drain in his brain!

(A fb friend of mine is a friend of Bill's father so I see some posts - Mishap is much more in the loop than I)

Oh that's wonderful. Somehow managed to miss recent posts on this so only now catching up. It all sounds really good and thank you both for the updates

Just looked back to my last post - amazing how much can happen in thee posts

So pleased to hear the news that the tumour is benign.

kitty - how kind people are when 'the chips are down'. So glad to hear that the tumour proved to be benign and that treatment has been effective.

Yes - it is all good news.

He went home yesterday and was delighted to be there - I am sure they all were! The tumour was benign and was totally removed - a very lucky little boy. The only downside is that he has a shunt now in his brain to drain the cerebro-spinal fluid into his stomach, as his head kept swelling up. He will have this for life, but I am sure that they will all adapt to the challenges that these can occasionally cause, and it is a small price to pay for his life.

My DD had a hand in the house surprises. Lots of those jobs that needed doing but there was never time for are now done and it was a lovely surprise for them.

We are all so delighted that there has been such a good outcome, when a few weeks ago it looked as though they might be facing the worst.

What relief the family must be feeling after such terrible worry. I hope things will be plain sailing from now on.

What a lucky little boy. I hope he continues to do well.

So wonderful to have a happy ending! I hope everything continues to go well - and what wonderful friends and neighbours

So glad this has had a good ending. When I read about the house refurb and jobs done, I thought "Oooh, sounds as if the DIY SOS gang with Nick Knowles have been there" . How kind people are.
