Ahhhhhhhh Fawk Man. I know how your friends daughter feels. :(
I was diagnosed with nueroblastoma some years ago (when I was 3 months old). Have many scars to live with because of it now, I hope she don't have near as many. I wish them the best.

My neighbor's three year old son was diagnosed with leukemia about six months ago. Same thing that took my grandmother (rest her soul) a few years back. They are doing amazing things for cancer these days. The little guy has an 80% chance of full recovery, and it looks like he is going to. Children are very resilient. Do not despair, do not give up hope.
God bless you and yours.

Yep, don't forget, we're beating up cancer more and more these days. I sincerely hope the little one beats it.

My brothers son ( was originally diagnosed with that when he was 9 months old ) had a tumor the size of a baseball in his chest, he is going in for his last surgery in a month. It's a terrible thing that children that young have to go through things like this. All I can say is keep positive and keep praying.
Your friends family is in our prayers
