Helo, my 3 year olf daughter was diagnosed with aggressive non-germinoma Yolk-sac brain tumour at a late stage in the supracellar area. she had surgery then chemo and was growing normally. It was only after the radiation (only to tumour bed) that she stopped growing. I do not what to do? doctors have not given us any growth hormones. She also is aking cortisol hormone as the gland responsible for it does not seem to be working properly, we have been trying to lower the dose but were not able to stop it. Ps
Hi, And I am really sorry that your child has got carcinoma in the brain. Post-radiation or due to a tumor itself, there may be pituitary hormone deficiency (hypopituitarism).  It seems your child has a Chat Doctor.  I would like to check other hormone levels such as Growth hormone, TSH, FSH, LH levels. If Growth Hormone (GH) levels are low, I would suggest you consult pediatric endocrinologists and consider starting it. Height may improve with GH therapy. For vision loss due to complete nerve damage, there is nothing much to offer.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
