Suggest Ways To Rule Out Brain Tumor
Question: Hi Dr.
I am panicking. My 18 month old daughter started walking at 14 months. She us 18 months now and is still not totally stable on her feet, is wobbly and falls often. There have also been three occasions in the past 3 months where she vomited shortly after waking up and drinking something. I am terrified she has a brain tumor. She co sleeps with me and takes naps with me in my bed and I always use my cellphone when she is beside me. When she does sleep in her crib in our room, the cellphone is in the same room. Also there have been 4 instances where my husband has falled asleep with her in our bed with the cellphone either beside or beneath her. I can't stop crying, I am so worried and upset she has a brain tumor or could develop cancer from her radiation exposure.
