Stories of Survival

Some people don't realise that a baby can survive being born with a teratoma. Here are some amazing stories of survival to show that babies can survive a sacrococcygeal teratoma.

Please note: these are personal accounts, written by the children's parents. They are of a sensitive nature. Some of the descriptions, photos and events may be distressing to some. Ultimately, they give a good cross-section of the diversity of experience with teratomas. They offer support, information and hope. Even the stories of loss, have inspiration such as�subsequent healthy babies being born to these parents and the babies memories living on in special ways.
