What is stage 4 Neuroblastoma?!
Question: What is stage 4 Neuroblastoma?
Sorry if I word things wrong. I just found out my cousin who is 2 has "stage four neuroblastoma". She started chemo last night.
What is it? Have any of you known someone or been the parents of a child who has had it?
Thank you all so much in advance.
