Children's brain tumor and brain cancer awareness opens doors to support education and research

Each year, approximately 3,400 children are diagnosed in the United States with a brain tumor, brain cancer. Nearly one third of these children no more than five years, making the brain and spinal cord tumours bloody for all childhood cancers.

This type of tumor childhood cancers more difficult to treat successfully due to several factors, including:

The exact cause is unknown, and there are many different types of brain and spinal cord tumors; alatavallan rare disease and tissue samples from small tumors, takes time to test and validate new treatment options, and doctors and researchers dealing with growing children, where the brain and body must first ensure that it avoids child abuse; andvonds for research and treatment options are limited, given the relatively low rate of infection compared to childhood cancers and other diseases.

Today, across America ...

Their child will learn nine families with brain or spinal cord tumor;
Or will we mourn with her instincts about health of the child on the right;
Father will allow himself to cry, but only in the bathroom;
The six-year-old boy tried to address them.

Three families across America will mourn the loss of her child to a brain tumor or spinal cord. Friends and family and the community would try to make sense of sudden death and the unfulfilled promise of life. At the same time, will join the same friends and family and community to celebrate the joy of life with children, although short and difficult.

Six families across America will transition to survivorship;
Parents would appreciate MRI another good;
His mother will be so exhausted from the constant care of a child simply write checks to pay bills;
Be adapted to the lab again today, her family and life to a new definition of normal, unlike any he had previously been envisaged;
Brothers will wonders whether parents will ever greater attention as do her sister stricken;
One of the survivors will wonder about adulthood if he'll start date or marriage or family.

There is hope for these children, and increased survival rate over the past twenty years, nearly 25,000 survivors living in the United States today. However, "survivorship" for children with brain or spinal cord tumours is not bright, survivorship life celebrated some other cancers. Two thirds of patients will suffer such harm delayed cognitive and physical challenges and social isolation. In addition, there are measures such as far more grim unemployment among survivors of pediatric brain tumor survivors of pediatric cancer.

Families facing this terrible disease need help. They need resources to education and services, and networking and just plain passionate support. There are several non-profit organizations, such as "brain tumor foundation for children that provide programs and assistance to these families in a variety of ways.

In addition, these organizations are tireless in their efforts to secure funding to support ongoing research to the causes and treatment options and treatment possible for deadly killers. Internet search can display Quick so many resources that fit the needs of almost every family travel this road very difficult.

While significant progress has been made in research, diagnosis and treatment, much more work remains to be done. Awareness is the first giant step in the right direction. Awareness and education, and comes from education and research is, donations, and hopefully, someday-treatment.
