**mods i hope this is in the right area**

A close family friends little girl has just been diagnosed with cancer - WILMS TUMOR, she turns 6 next week.

This is what i have found as a basic overview through Wikipedia:

Wilms' tumor or nephroblastoma is cancer of the kidneys that typically occurs in children, rarely in adults.[1] Its common name is an eponym, referring to Dr. Max Wilms, the German surgeon (1867–1918) who first described this kind of tumor.[2]

Approximately 500 cases are diagnosed in the U.S. annually. The majority (75%) occur in otherwise normal children; a minority (25%) is associated with other developmental abnormalities. It is highly responsive to treatment, with about 90% of patients surviving at least five years.
Has anyone else had or know of anyone who has a child with this, and any information that can help this family through the rough journey ahead.

I've been to see them today, they are taking it 1 day at a time, which i guess is all you can do, they are far from home and staying at RMH while their poor little girl is in RCH.

Any information would be wonderful.

TIA
