Hydrocephalus

[chocolatefudge240]

I discovered i had a brain tumor December last yer and had treatment .. i cant remember what it is called but it wasnt a Shunt .. i have a plug thing in my head so that if the fluid builds up in my head again they can just put a needle in and take the fluid out. Well it is now July and i have an appointment with the Enchronolgist.. about my hormones because they think the tumor has stunted my growth as i have never had a growth spert in my life and i am small for my age. i also had a x ray of my wrists to see what my bone age was .. because if it was below my real age i could have growth tablets or something .. but my bone age is 17 and at the time i was 15 so i couldnt go on any tablets.. i cannot grow any more in height but i am wondering if anyone knows wheather other things can still grow? Such as my breast size .. because i read on the internet that they dont stop growing untill you are 18. i am size 32b at the moment and as my bone age is 17 this means i only have one more year of growing .. but i am not sure if i can still grow .. because now the tumor has been sorted .. i dont know if i am able to grow anymore or if the tumor has damaged something compleatly. so my question is ... can my breats still grow? i am not sure if anyone will know this as it is proberly a detailed thing .. but just thoguht i would ask. Thankyou =] x x x Laura x

Your breasts will grow as you mature, have children, etc... It's a part of life. Enjoy it.

This is finally a question I can answer first-hand.

I was diagnosed at 17 years old with Hydrocephalus.

Before then, I weighed 80 lbs and had not gone through any sort of maturity (flat-chested.)
My maturity process eventually picked back up after this. The pressure on my spinal cord temporarily slowed my growth. It took a lonngggg timmeeee (didn't see real changes in my figure until college) but I did finally fill out.

Actually, during my freshman year of college, I came back from christmas break and everyone thought I had undergone some sort of "cosmetic surgery" to enhance this area. That is how quickly the girls grew in.

So just be patient. Even if you don't get any...it's not biggie. I am sure you are beautiful with or without them. Either way, I hear small breasts are in this year :)
