The morphine was taking affect and making Barry sleepy.

He dosed of just as carol went to get dynasty and kasey

Kacey and Dynasty entered to see their brother asleep.

They stroked his hair as he slept

"Mum?" Kacey asked. "What's wrong with Barry??"

'We don't know he is going for scans later" carol said

"He was fine this morning! How did he just collapse like that??"

'He has been secretly been having headaches and not telling us and nauseous and dizzy' carol explained

"He could be really ill-" dynasty mumbled

Later that day Barry went for more scans

He had a Brain scan and a MRI Scan.

He then went back to his room

It would be a few hours until the results were in.

Carol and the girls sat with Barry.

Barry started feeling nauseous again

He woke up

He groaned carol comforted him
'you in pain baz' carol soothed

"Just uncomfortable"

Carol fluffed his pillows up and then and then gently massaged barry's head.

"There you go love" Carol smiled but was distraught inside

Meanwhile the doctors were examining Barry's scan pictures and were horrified to find a growth just a little smaller than a tangerine attatched to Barry's brain.

"No Wonder the kid had headaches-" one doctor spoke

Another sighed poor kid "is there anything we can do?"

"We need to tell him first! Chemotherapy is always an option no matter how big the tumor is,"

The consultant then went to speak to barry and carol

The consultant went in the room and asked carol to sit and asked if she wanted her other children there.

'yes I need my sisters' Barry muttered.

They all held on tight.

'There is no easy way to say this I'm afraid Barry has a brain tumour' the consultant said

please feel free to join in

Carol felt her body go limp in hearing that. Tumour? But that often meant cancer? Her 18 year old son couldn't have cancer. She turned her gaze to the face of her sons which held a confused looked.

"Tumour? Like...like cancer?" Barry asked quietly, a hint of fear in his voice.
