I never knew that kids cancers cannot be treated in the same way as adult cancers. I just assumed that the advances in cancer treatment applied to all ages.
This message needs to get out.
Truly sorry for your loss.
- mason240 11y agoI'm sure oncologists are aware of the difference.
- baldfat 11y agoYes but the political difference and money raised for cancer is not spent enough on cancer research. I love St. Baldrick's (They funded the new drug for Childhood Cancer that increases it's effectiveness over 40% (think cancer killed) with less side effects) and also Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation. The money goes to research to help the children of the future. I was surrounded by support and still receive support from my local community but little money goes to research funds and most money goes to help the family and children financially and emotionally (Think "Dream Come True" LOVE THEM and Ronald McDonald House LOVE LOVE THEM) We need both to be funded and more from the Government Research Grants. If we find a treatment for kids it usually will work even better on adults and with less side-effects since children's bodies are more delicate.
- baldfat 11y agoI should also say that my son's oncologists shaves his head every year for St. Baldrick's local fund raiser.
