A 9-month-old girl is thriving after doctors discovered a tumor covering more than 60 percent of her brain.
Katie Rose was just a few weeks old when doctors found the tumor.
This is my first baby and we've never gone through anything like this and when you hear about something on the brain, you think the worst.At 2 months, Katie began chemotherapy, but her parents said that fortunately the side effects weren't as bad as they expected.
Luckily, babies under the age of 6 months have a unique advantage for fighting a glioblastoma.
She added: So, biologically those tumors in very young kids, like Katie Rose, are unique.Katie still has some treatments to go, but as she gets closer and closer to her first birthday, she is hitting major milestones, just like any other kid.
