About 3 and a half years ago, my little boy, who was still a babe in arms at this point, was diagnosed with a benign tumour at the back of his right eye (haemangiona of the optic) We were told it could effect his eye sight, even close his eye up completely, and as the haemangioma was on his blood vessel they wouldn't operate as the risks were too high.
Today we have been for his annual check up, they are so impressed with his reading, and he has 20-20 vision, that the consultant has decided to give him an open discharge, meaning unless I think he needs to, we no longer need to attend the clinic for check ups.
I feel like a huge weight has lifted off my shoulders

This was the "lump" 3 years ago

The eye is nearly back to normal now
(yes I have realised he is dressed as a cat) |
He starts school in September, and other than just watching to make sure he doesn't have a reaccurance of the swelling we now have a totally "normal" 4 year old,and I couldn't be happier.
