A mum realised there was something seriously wrong with her baby due to her unusual shaped head. Molly Wardle-Hampton was just 12-weeks old when she needed emergency surgery to remove a huge brain tumour after her mother Corinne Wardle spotted some changes in her baby's head.
Corinne, 38, a nurse from Flint noticed a range of symptoms such as a bigger head than usual for her age, seizures and a fixed eye gaze but says she was consistently told by medical professionals there was nothing wrong with her daughter. It was only after she spotted bulging lumps in Molly's fontanel (the soft spot of a baby's head) was she rushed in for an emergency scan and the family given the horrific diagnosis.
The scan showed that a tumour covered nearly the whole right side of the 12-week-old baby's brain and she was rushed into emergency brain surgery to remove it, taking over ten hours.
