Answer #1

Nueroblastoma is a type of cancer which usually develops in infants (rarely in kids above the age of 10). Its a very common type of cancer that kids develop, its still cancer though and that can pose a threat to the child’s well being. This type of cancer effects early nerves cells of sympathetic nervous system. I’m very sorry that this is happening to your cousin.
