Hi there, My son is 4 months old and has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. Nuero surgeons at Starship Hospital (Auckland, New Zealand.) still have no idea of what kind of tumor it is. His symptoms include an enlargement of the head and cross-eyed. Doctors have not given us any options other than him dying!!! please help me save my little boy.
Hi, Thanks for writing in to us. It is important to discuss the brain tumor in your child with the MRI scan images. Tumors are of many types and found in many locations. A brain tumor in a 4 months old might have been present at birth and was probably growing even before birth. Neurosurgeons have to be careful when trying to know what they are dealing with before doing a surgery. Since your child has enlargement of the head and crossed eyes therefore there is a possibility of increased pressure inside the brain. There is a need to know how much of brain remains normal at present. Doctors are always trying to do the best for their patients, and I am sure your child is under the best care at your place.
