When Helen was born in 2007 in Latvia, she was a happy, healthy baby. Just eight months later, in February 2008, her mother, Andra, noticed a bruise on one of Helen's buttocks. Concerned, she took her daughter to the pediatrician, who dismissed the bruise as nothing more than the result of Helen rolling over on a toy. But when a pea-like lump appeared overnight, and the bruise continued to spread, Andra took Helen to another doctor. He performed an ultrasound, and the results it revealed were devastating. Baby Helen had tumors on her pelvis. A follow-up MRI confirmed the presence of tumors, and surgery was scheduled for a week later.
