my 4 yr old princess was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma a child cancer in children under 6 this cancer is not talked about alot but is very common she is stage 4 but is fighting like a champ

In Aug I took Aynslee to 3 different hospitals and to walk in clinics and all pretty much said the same it was a viral infection. That was not sitting well we me here i had a child who could hardly walk and was in so much pain not eating at all. Brought her to Sick kids in Toronto they did every test from blood to bones nothing and ultrasound was ordered and 200 pictures later i was sat down to tell me my baby girl had Neuroblastoma. I didn’t know what it was and then she said the C word and my stomach just dropped. Within the first week my healthy baby underwent so many tests chemo started with in that week we are still fighting 5 months later within 5 months we have gone through tons of test 6 rounds of chemo,4 stays in hospital for fever 10 hr surgery to remove maze right kidney was lost. Right this minute in for BMT 4 day’s high dose chemo which we are on day 3 and handling it great and on Valentine's Day she will have her stem cell placed back into her and then we sit for a few weeks and wait for numbers to climb up. Every day is a fight but we make the best and we laugh and cry. But it is the toughest thing in the world and i need people to know about Neuroblastoma. No picture of Aynslee as i am on hospital laptop right now
