Finding out your child has a genetic and long-term health issue can be immensely difficult. This may have come out of the blue or you may have been waiting years to finally find out the reason for your child’s difficulties. The diagnosis does not change who your child is.
They are still the same person they were yesterday and will continue to be. This diagnosis can now support you to help you meet your child’s needs and get the optimum treatments available that they deserve.
We in the T2 community want to help you and can understand some of what you may be going through so please do reach out and join our family group. A diagnosis like this takes time to be absorbed and the feelings you have will come in waves. It is not uncommon to feel sad/ angry or overwhelmed and we want to help.
