My son is nearly 5 years old, suffering from neuroblastoma (in the chest mediastinum). After 10 courses of chemotherapy, he went to some children's hospitals in Beijing and Shanghai. He said that the operation conditions are not mature, it is difficult to remove completely, and it is of little significance to continue chemotherapy. In the past, the size of neuroblastoma was 9cmx8cmx7cm by CT examination. After more than two years of chemotherapy, the tumor has not changed much, I couldn't find any other effective way, so I kept on chemotherapy.

The child's daily situation is: poor physical strength, thin, fast heartbeat, chest and back sweating more, but the activity has been normal, do a bone puncture, there is no sign of bone marrow metastasis.
