My son was born with brain cancer (grade lll glioma) I had preeclampsia at 36 weeks, not even 2 days later I had my labor induced. My son had a massive bruise on the back right of his head so his 5th day in the NICU he had a scan done and that’s how we found the tumor. It was the size of a golf ball, almost half the size of his brain. *he’s almost two now and still tumor free*
