Toby's summer has been full of sunshine, beach days, hot dog cookouts, puddle jumping, bike rides and ice cream. He's doing really well, finishing up his 10th cycle of ABT-751, with clean MiBG + CT scans and clear bone marrows. We are so very, very lucky.
And yet, shouldn't this be the norm? Every child fighting this horrible disease deserves a summer to be a kid, without constant pain, toxic chemo, life-threatening surgery or worse. Sadly, so many of our kids are not experiencing summer like Toby. Mr. Inquisitive, dear wonderful Liam, recently relapsed and is spending his third summer battling neuroblastoma. He is all of 5 years old. Sweet Evan was receiving ABT like Toby, but a routine scan showed neuroblastoma in the brain. He just finished 17 straight days of radiation and will start intrathecal 8H9 antibody treatment soon. There are too many awful summers out there... almost every child we know is spending their summer fighting for life.
Please think of these kids. And then, go hug your own children. Tell them how amazing they are and be thankful for every day.

Have a great year at school, Toby.
I was diagnosed with Liver cancer in August 2020. A valuable friend told me about Dr. Itua Herbal Center in West Africa. She gave me her phone number and email address. I quickly contacted him to guarantee that his herbal medicines will heal my cancer and I will heal forever I said OK.I ask him what is the healing process, he asks me to pay the fees I did and within 7 working days he sent me the herbal medicine and then he asked me I told my friend Gomez about the herbal drug so that he gave me to go and drink it.So after drinking for two weeks, I was cured, I am so grateful and I promise that I will do it I recommend to anyone who has cancer and that that I am doing.
