Hello everyone,

I want to share a success story from little 4 year old charlie. He has Neuroblastoma, a cancer; however, he has won the battle to fight it for the second time in his life. He turned 4 on June 20th. Neuroblastoma is a cancer of the adrenal gland and can be fatal. There are many children that get it starting at age 1 and can stay around until a child is 14 if they can get into remission. Charlie was only 2 when he was first attacked with this cancer and got it into remission may 2006 and just in November/december time in 2007 it came back and now he seems to have one this battle again. He is a very very lively boy! I was able to visit him for nearly an hour on August 8th and he was all smile, giggles and talk. He needs alot pray and alot care too but he is so sweet. You can tell him Hi and he will answer with "I am the boy with cancer. " That will take your heart away because he will smile after that and get you just talking and laughing with him. I gave him some books, a dump truck and even a plastic hard hat..... he loved them all. He was naming every kind of construction vechile in the books. Smart boy! He has a little brother that is watching him go through this and you can tell its hard. His mom is divorced but is soon getting married. At least he will soon have a father that cares and all. I have a few pictures below I want to share with you of Charlie. You will see how lively the little guy is....he had me nearly crying when I got to see him again because of how well he is doing and how happy he is even though he is tired.

Wow, I am glad that boy survived through the cancer, and want to ensure that he would keep it way.

Currently, my aunt have the cancer, last week my parents, my brother and I went to her house up at Seattle area. When I see her, it was very shocking and sad to see her while she have the cancer, she doesn't look the same at all. She was very thin, like she only have the skin and bones, that's it, no muscle or fats. Her cancer comes from the leukemia which she received from the sunlight. She barely able to keep the food she ate in her stomach, but she threw up the foods that she recently ate at the most of the times, also she cannot walk or handle thing that much so someone have to be there to assist her.

Cancer is really a nasty and scary disease and I hope that boy keep be safe from the cancer.

My aunt has cancer. I thought she survived it, but my mom told me that she still has cancer. She has the cancer in her ovaries. And She has a tumor in her colon. She had a surgery 2 months ago, shes doing okay. But she's on radiation treatment all summer for her tumor, and I also found out that my aunt is going to start chemo. She has lost alot of weight from her radiation treatment. And I agree with PuyoPiyo, it is a really nasty and a scary disease. And I hope someday in the future that the doctors and scientist would find a cure for cancer. I hope the boy's health would stay away from cancer.

Charlie is one tough fighter, that's for sure. Hopefully, his family will have several years left with him.

In Australia, we're hoping a young boy named Dylan Hartung who suffers from this cancer will be cured, or at least have the cancer beaten into remission.

He should be dead few years ago, but due to his family determination to have him undergo clinical trials in New York, so far, he's doing okay as can be. However, he does have cancer in his bones and such.

He might be lucky to live a couple of years, if not more. His mother, from my impression, seem to think he'll be cured. Well, I hope so for their sake.

His family gave up their family home and everything to pay for treatments in NYC, but they're in debt so deeply and relies on handouts.
