I am currently pregnant with our third child. During a routine ultrasound at 24 weeks the ultrasound technician told us that our son had something wrong with his chest. My OB had no idea what it could be so he sent me to a perinatologist the very next day to get a diagnosis. At this point my brain was going 100 miles an hour. I was so worried.

When he told us that our son had a tumor on his left lung, my husband and I were so devastated. I couldn't believe the news. Immediately I thought the worst, that he was going to die and how badly that would hurt and my heart would break.

The one good thing about a CCAM diagnosis is that 90 percent of cases are good and the baby can be delivered and undergo surgery within the first year.

Then at 24 weeks the tumor/cyst was 2.2 cm and now at 32 weeks it has shrunk to 1.7 cm. How relieved we are to hear that. It looks like our son will be fine and he expects no complications after birth. I will need to follow up with a pediatric surgeon after birth. I am 7 weeks away from my due date. Wish us the best.
