Same thing happened in My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Did someone say that already. It is a real thing though. Gross, but real.

I'm going to disagree here. The kid is too young to really understand the whole thing and if explained properly, it can just be "really sick" until he's old enough to comprehend it properly.

Chances are the kid doesn't even know. Just because they released the general story to the press doesn't mean they tried explaining this to the kid. You think he reads the newspaper at his age?

Hate to tell you, but it does happen. My wife had a "tumor" in her spinal cord. What they found was similar, but not exactly the same, as what is described here.

The neurosurgeon who removed said that if the twin had actually developed, they would have been conjoined at the spinal cord. That was based how it was attached to the spinal cord when he removed it. Since it was sharing an attachment to her, the tissues were being nourished, etc. through her body. That's why it doesn't just "die". It just never developed.

Apparently, puberty triggered its growth. When it got big enough, it put pressure on her spinal cord. Her first symptoms were severe pains in her chest area. The initial diagnosis was pleuresy. When she lost the use of her left leg about 3 weeks later, we had to rush her to a neurologist. They diagnosed the tumor and surgery was done the next day.

She had to learn to walk all over, but eventually she was able to fully recover. I can guarantee you that she had no remorse for the loss of her "sibling". That tumor was attached to her for 22 years. There are still parts of it there since they would have had to severe parts of the spinal cord to completely remove it.

That was all 34 years ago, but we occasionally talk about out when her scar itches (it runs right up the middle of her back).

I've actually seen those things before in one of those believe it or not museums. If anything could give you dry heaves, there you are.

That's really fucked up... I'm glad I wasn't planning on going to sleep any time soon. I just hope nobody said anything to the kid that suggested that it was his "dead twin brother". If they said it was a tumor, then I suspect he's fine. But if they said anything about it being a twin, then at that age I bet it would really mess with his head. Ugh... bad mental images... get out of my head! Out, I say, out!

That's something I've never heard before. I'm just wondering what the boys thinking. What kind of psychological effect it will have on him.
