Infant Brain Tumour

I was just wondering if anyone else has a child/ or themselves have been born with a brain tumour? I am asking for my Mother, as my younger brother was born with a benign brain tumour and had it removed at 8 weeks. He is now a healthy 13 year old. Was wondering if anyone else has a similar experience.

Hi

My child has just had an MRi showing a mass of 5cm x 5cm in his right parital lobe, we don't know how long it has been there, he has had a left sided weeknes all his life we have to wait a further 2 months to find out if it is growing.

How big was the tumour they found please?  Was it developed before he was born, or grew after? Do you know where it was located?
