Has anyone had any experience with olfactory neuroblastoma (a very aggressive and rare form of cancer)

We live in Australia and I would really love to hear of any experiences here as I've only found 1 other lady here who unfortunately has this.. my son is 9 and has been diagnosed as stage 4... it is in his bones

It’s so rare that I’m having an extremely hard time finding information online…

I am suffering from breast cancer and I can understand what you must be going through right now. Wish I could help you. Lots of prayers for your son. I would however suggest you to start his treatment as soon as possible. I have seen cases of stage 4 cancer getting cured. So do not lose hope. May God be with you. Lots of prayers and hugs and kisses.

Hey! Unfortunately our experience with Neuroblastoma is not a good one. My older brother passed away in 2002 at the age of 8 due to Neuroblastoma. Some kids that experienced the journey with him survived however. I wish you all the best and my heart is with you as I know first hand how this is. Good luck mama :heart::heart:

Praying for your son🙏

Could you please private message me. I have something could possibly help.

Prayers for your son.

Please contact St. Jude Children’s research hospital in Memphis, TN. As long as there is an open trial (which is extremely likely) and you’ve had no previous treatment, they will pay to get you there, house and feed you for free and never charge you for treatment. Not only that, but they are THE BEST when dealing with childhood cancer.

Jimmy fund in Massachusetts!

The best treatment is radiation therapy.
:pray:t3: :pray:t3:

I’m going to suggest something off the beaten path. “How to Starve Cancer” is a great book about off-label drug use to help beat cancer, and it is available on Amazon. There is a great group for the book here on FaceBook as well. I realize some people won’t like this suggestion - but I know if this were my child I would be looking inside AND outside of the box. I will be praying for your son, his doctors, and you. (((hugs)))
