Hi All,
We recently found a lump on my 7 month old which doctors don't know what it is. We have seen 4 doctors about it - all of which have no idea what the lump could be - the last one asking us to come back for a further review in 4 months time.
We recently attended the RCH for an eczema clinic workshop and the doctors there noticed the lump. Thankfully they are the first ones to do something about it. Next week we are having an ultrasound done on it and then receive the results two days after - then we will know for sure if it will have to come out.
They advised us that it will be most likely that he will have to have an operation to remove the lump but this scares me to death - thinking that he will be under. They advised us that they usually wait until a child is 6 months old before surgery is perfomred on a child and that the RCH is the best place to be as they do surgery on little ones all the time.
I know he will be in the best hands at the RCH but it still worries me as he is still so small and he is my little baby.
Has anyone else had a child under one who has had to be put under for surgery? If so, how did it go and was it scary?
