We only knew there was something wrong because she had a droopy eyelid. Two different pediatrians told me not to worry about her eyelid, diagnosing it as Ptosis, but I just knew there was something more. I finally took her to an Optamologist (eye Dr!) and he agreed that she should see a Neurologist and have an MRI, which confirmed the cancer. After 5months of chemo and surgery she is doing brilliantly and she will now have quartely MRI´s to keep tabs on any regrowth. Fingers crossed for the best, and to any of you families out there in the same situation, my heart goes out to you, be strong and love each other and always smile for your child, it helps them and you!

I'm very sorry for your loss.

As for your question, most cases of neuroblastoma aren't inherited and happen by chance. In only 1-2% of cases there's a story of someone else in the family that had the disease.

The prognosis of an individual in stage one will more than likely be better than the prognosis for an individual diagnosed with stage three or four. Aggressive treatment can be started sooner, aiding in preventing the cancer from entering into further stages. In these latter stages, the prognosis is poor because it has usually spread into other organs and the blood stream, making a cure obsolete.

Second, I read your page on Sean's condition and hope everyone else who visits this page does too, as I think it can give hope and a better understanding to people hearing about or dealing with the disease. My heart is with you and your family, and may you never have to face that disease again. Hi Ellen,
