Hi SarahLM - snap, me too (except I'm in Melb and slightly younger). Exactly the same diagnosis, although my kid is 12. Having surgery in mid April and keep thinking about it.

Sorry to hear you are on the same path. My brain is in complete overdrive and i’m trying to listen to the advice that says to take it one stage at a time.

But yes, we’ll get through this – because we’e strong women, and that’s what we do!
Thanks SarahLM. I’ve actually just realised in my brain fog that I’ve got a grade 2. Not really sure that it matters much - it’s small and coming out. I am finding my patience is zero especially with Miss 12 who is amazing but can be sassy. She doesn’t know yet . How old and what gender is your teen??
