Wow, condolences :(

Edit: actually now that I think about it, same thing happened to my grandmother. She had headaches through pregnancy and the doctor brushed it off. Turns out it was an aneurysm and she passed during child birth...

I had a friend who woke up one day with blurred/double-vision (around age 22). She went to the ER and after a few tests they found out she had a brain tumor. They operated within a day or so (it was about 5 years ago so I don't remember specifically but know it was within a day or two). They told her if she had waited longer or not come in she would have died.

Yes, unfortunately, after many many surgeries, chemo, radiation, experimental treatments, my friend passed away about 4 years after initial diagnosis. But in that time she got to take some really awesome vacations and get married :) I think brain cancer has really bad survival rates, and is incredibly persistent.

Wow that’s crazy! Don’t baby’s have “bendy” bones? Were the fractures all from the birthing process or did some occurr in utero?
