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.
