19 weeks pregnant and found a brain tumor...what to do??? Options???

[javinjen]

I am 19 weeks pregnant and I had a level 2 ultra sound and was told my baby girl has a large brain tumor.  The tumor is 20% of her brain and is pushing the ceribellum down.  My Down Syndrome test results came back abnormal .5% 1 out of 175 chance.  Therefore they did a amniocyntisis, should have results monday.  Then I did an MRI to take a better look at the babies brain/tumor.  

The doctor told me chances are slim she will live after birth and told me I have the option for terminiation until 24weeks.  

Now we just wait.  I don't see much information on the internet regarding this.  I don't think many have experienced this.  We just are waiting for the results now.

I'm praying for a miracle in hopes down syndrome is negative and the tumor is something less serious.  Is there any other possibilites other then a tumor???
