Surgeons removed most of it but he was told he would have to be on chemo drugs for life.
Businessman Jonathan, 32, feared he would never have kids because the drugs can make men infertile.
So he was overjoyed when girlfriend, personal trainer Danielle Taylor, 31, fell pregnant naturally — just as they were planning to start IVF using sperm he froze when younger.
Jonathan, of Solihull, West Mids, said: “My son JJ is a blessing, an absolute miracle.
“I think my story will inspire other people to remain strong and hopeful.
"With JJ and Danielle, my life, aside from the chemo, is perfect.”

Jonathan met personal trainer Danielle in a bar in Birmingham in 2019 and although they both fell for each straight away, he feared his condition might be an obstacle to their relationship.
She said: “When he told me about the brain tumour he thought I’d be put off but it just made me want to get to know him even more.
“I just thought ‘What an amazing guy.’ That was it for me. He’s just one in a million.”
