"Always calm and talks him through everything"

My son was diagnosed with a brain tumour 4 1/2 years ago, when he was only 3 1/2.  He had quite a traumatic experience and cannulas have continued to cause distress up until recently.  

Denise (Play Therapist Royal Aberdeen Children’s hospital) has been instrumental in supporting my son through two awake scans with the build up to, getting the cannula in and the scan itself. My son is now confident getting an MRI scan and he is able to confidently get a cannula in. He says Denise is always calm and talks him through everything so he is ready.  

She will continue to support us as necessary and we are very grateful to her for her support.
