Guest guest Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Hi, Maddison had a routine appointment with her opthopedic lastweek. We were talking to him about asymetry and he said kids with asymetry tend to have a chance of getting Wills Tumors??? I don't know even know how to spell it, that is probably wrong. So he recommends she have an ultrasound of her abdmonen twice a year. We have been the convention twice and I have learned a lot from you guys but I have never heard of this before. Has anyone elso heard this? If so please fill me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 melissa our endo told us the same thing as well. the good new with welms tumor is that afer the kids hit 3yr or older the chances of getting it is greatally decreased according to our urologist. http://www.drgreene.com/21_91.html this link explains it a littl ebetter. dont let it scare u it is still very rare for htis to accure. joanna > Hi, > Maddison had a routine appointment with her opthopedic lastweek.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 , Dr. H cleared up the cancer/asymmetry link for me at this years convention. There are two ways to obtain an asymmetric body shape, one side of the body grows too fast - hemihypertophy - or one side grows too slow - hemiatrophy. The liver/kidney cancer risk is associated with hemihypertophy. I do not know of any RSS kids with this cause of asymmetry, though I suppose it is possible. You should make sure the asymmetry is properly diagnosed. > Hi, > Maddison had a routine appointment with her opthopedic lastweek.
