Scare

[Amh22]

Hi, my baby is 3 month old. The AFP decresed from 54000 to 19000 in only 2 months that is good, but her US was really bad. They found 5 liver tumors. The last US was 2 months ago. Anybody knows if cancer tumors can be developed really fast (in only 2 months)? o they can be hemangiomas? Anybody has experience with multiple liver tumors? This week she will have a MRI with and w/o contrast to know if it is cancer. Thanks.

Im so sorry about your little one. May God give you strength to go through this and heal your sweetheart...

So sorry to hear this. Yes it could be hemangiomas as BWS is a risk factor for these as well as hepatoblastoma. The scan should give you more information but if they think it is hepatoblastoma they may do a biopsy to confirm. Early stage hepatoblastoma has a 90% survival rate. But hopefully it won't turn out to be this. Wishing you all the very best...keep in touch.
