Mum noticed unusual change to her baby's head before devastating diagnosis

A baby's brain tumour was only diagnosed after her mum noticed her head growing at a rapid rate.

Corinne Wardle, a nurse, began to notice some odd changes when her daughter Molly Wardle-Hampton was just 12 weeks old. She spent months documenting Molly's symptoms - with the growth in the soft spots of her head among the most noticeable.

Corinne, 38, also noted a fixed eye gaze, a tilt to one side of her head and patterns of vomiting. Worried her daughter's head was measuring "off the charts", the mum-of-three took in her for tests - where it was revealed she had an ependymoma tumour on her brain.
