How do I tell my 8 year old she might have to have surgery?

[Anonymous]

As dicussed in my pior question, The doctor said if push comes to shove we might have to remove her ovary to stop it becoming a problem, she's too young to have eggs frozen for use later.

Maybe you should ask the doctor. Or you could look for a child psychologist. All I know is that is not going to be easy.

Thank you for the MHO. Hope you've found a way of telling her.

They have to fix something in the hospital

Call a therapist who specializes in family and child psychology.

Ask them for help.

Also call your doctor and see if they have a child surgery support team who can help you.

This is not an appropriate question to leave to strangers on the internet. Value your daughter more than that.

It may be helpful if the doctor was with you to answer any questions she may have.

How will this affect her capability to have children?

Does the hospital offer support, being she is only 8, she might not understand what it means.
