Hi There,
My name is Sam Saffron, my son Shalev was diagnosed with high risk stage 3 neuroblastoma in October 2015 (2 days before his sister’s birthday 
)
Shalev was acting a bit lethargic for a few weeks prior, luckily when my wife Tam took him to the GP, he did no fussing around and sent us for a blood test. (he said, I am not sure what is going on, let’s go fishing!). Blood test showed low hemoglobin, he sent us to the hospital, 3 days later we started chemo.
We are undergoing the SIOPEN study, rapid COJEC induction, operation, bone marrow transplant, radiation and immunotherapy.
At the moment we are in the transplant room in day 3!! To date our treatment has gone very well, after the operation scans no longer showed any neuroblastoma. Shalev a very happy child and true trooper, he has gone through so much in the past 4 months and taken it all so bravely.
My day job is writing forum software, in fact, the software for this very forum
