2006 has not been good with us & people we know & love.

Who has experience with the above type of cancer? It's manifested in our friend's 1 yr old & after 1 1/2 yr of the "protocol" - he's getting ready to be tested again.

I just want to know the honest expectations. I know he doesn't have great chances - but we just can't accept that!

It is not possible to give an estimation of this childs chances, only the doctor can do this.

I agree.... your DR is the best person to help you understand the prognosis. I am not too familiar with pediatric neuroblastomas but I do have a few decent website for you to visit..... my husband was diagnosed with brain tumor almost 2 years ago and I have collected these sites( plus sometimes it is good to go to the chat sections and share your feelings/experiences with others)

good luck!
