My name is Emiliano Fusco, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, my 3 year old son has been diagnosed with a very difficult and uncommon cancer (high risk metastatic neuroblastoma N-MYC amplified). We have been dealing with this disease for a year, and at this moment, we need as much help as possible to continue this battle.\u00a0We were leaving in Cyprus when we learned about the disease. Immediately after learning about the tumor, Lucio, received 8 cycles of chemotherapy followed by surgery in a period of 4 months. In Cyprus, they did not have the technology to continue with his treatment so we went to Berlin, Germany, hospital Charit\u00e9 Campus Virchow-Klinikum.\u00a0In Germany, we have done more chemotherapy, a bone marrow transplant, and 5 cycles of immunotherapy. After a year of a successful treatment, there is still a 50%-60% chance for the cancer to come back, especially the first 2 years. Knowing this, we have contacted Dr Giselle Sholler of Helen DeVos Children\u2019s Hospital in Michigan. She is doing medical studies to decrease the remission percentile of high risk neuroblastoma.\u00a0This medical trial is bringing great hope to families like ours. The clinical trails have shown significant improvements in decreasing the high rates of relapses. These trials have helped 86% of child patients to remain cancer free for the first 4 years after completing their initial treatment.\u00a0
