Neuroblastoma is a ‘rare‘ type of cancer that mostly affects babies and young children.
Honestly, I wouldn’t personally say Neuroblastoma is rare. I see so many Childrenโs Facebook & Twitter pages that are fighting Neuroblastoma. To me like 3-4 children is rare… not 50!
Neuroblastoma most commonly occurs in one of the adrenal glands situated above the kidneys, or in the nerve tissue that runs alongside the spinal cord in the neck, chest, tummy or pelvis.
It can spread to other organs such as the bone marrow, bone, lymph nodes, liver and skin.
The symptoms of neuroblastoma vary depending on where the cancer is and whether it has spread.
The early symptoms can be vague and hard to spot, and can easily be mistaken for those of more common childhood conditions.
Trust your instincts, see a medical professional if you have ANY concerns about your childโs health.
Neuroblastoma is relentless, it’s horrific. Childhood cancer can take your child in the blink of an eye.

Rileyโs Journey

Hope it is a simple word
Used every single day
But when your life is full of doubt
It can be difficult to say
We hope that Riley doesnโt feel too sick
We hope he’s doing just fine
We hope he’s not in too much pain
We hope he continues to shine
Love it is a simple word
Used every single day
And when your life is filled with love
It can help make the pain go away
We love Riley’s spirit
His charm and his laughter
We love his smile that can light up a room
We love that so many people have supported him
In times filled with fear and gloom
Joy it is a simple word
Used every single day
And when you have joy within your heart
Itโs easy to get through a tough day
We are filled with joy when the news is good
We are joyous and thankful and glad
And Riley’s smile is a joyful reminder
That you can be happy when times might feel sad.
