Brain Tumor - Feeding Issues
When we started our journey into Little B's `medical issues, the last thing on our minds was the possibility of a childhood cancer/tumor. Now, looking at this list of symptoms spelled out like this, I feel like the world's biggest idiot. So check out the list. Odds are, you will never need the information.
- Continued, unexplained weight loss
- Headaches, often with early morning vomiting
- Increased swelling or persistent pain in bones, joints, back, or legs
- Lump or mass, especially in the abdomen, neck, chest, pelvis, or armpits
- Development of excessive bruising, bleeding, or rash
- Constant infections
- A whitish color behind the pupil
- Nausea which persists or vomiting without nausea
- Constant tiredness or noticeable paleness
- Eye or vision changes which occur suddenly and persist
- Recurrent or persistent fevers of unknown origin

Little B had two issues: he was losing weight/wouldn't eat and he vomited in the morning. We didn't know if he had headaches because he was so young.
