sometimes it gets too warm

Well, we have enough rain here, perhaps our countries should consider sharing a little...

On that pages theres 168 kids who lost their lives to Neuroblastoma, and thats only a handful of them. 126 who are in remission (NED)
So i have one more aside from the sauce pan and melted ice.
Any chance of a cure? I'll add that to the list. Hope it's not too hard

New Cancer Research UK trial offers hope for childhood cancer
Thursday 10 December 2009
Cancer Research UK Press Release
CHILDREN in the UK with a high risk form of the childhood cancer neuroblastoma are set to benefit from a new international clinical trial " funded by Cancer Research UK - which uses immunotherapy to help prevent the disease from coming back.

The phase III trial, which opens in the UK this month, builds on early promising results from a US study* which found that treatment with immunotherapy " boosting the immune system to fight the disease - improved the chances of survival from the disease.

Around 100 children are diagnosed with neuroblastoma** every year in the UK, usually under the age of five. Overall six out of ten children are successfully treated, but for children with advanced forms of the cancer it is very difficult to treat successfully. Doctors estimate that around 40 children per year in the UK would be eligible for and potentially benefit from this new treatment.
This immunotherapy treatment hunts down neuroblastoma cells that have survived conventional treatment by recognising specific molecules on their surface called GD2 antigens. After sticking to the neuroblastoma cells the antibodies then recruit the body’s immune defences to attack and destroy neuroblastoma cells reducing the chance of the disease coming back.

Apparently, had they found this in 2007, when Lilia was in remission, then she's likely to have stayed in remission and still be with us. She'd have been the perfect candiate. Kind of them to tell us that wasn't it?

If only we were super rich and could've taken her to New York, their the best at treating NB.
Ceh.

Then again, i suppose the biggest "If Only" would be If only Lilia didn't get cancer. I suppose if it had been like that i'd find her just as annoying as i find my other sister.
