Cancer in children is never a subject that is particularly fun to research or write about. At Amigos De Los Ninos we of course prefer to write about all of the wonderful recovery stories of all the children that were assisted in getting proper treatment. However, those recovery stories always start with a diagnosis, a lot of this information can be found all over the web, but we wanted to share this information as well. Early detection is important and recognizing these symptoms early is important to get started on the road to recovery.
You can visit the Pediatric Oncology Resource Center for more information.
