Carys Parkinson, diagnosed with neuroblastoma in Feb 2010 at 12 months old at Queen Mary Hospital Hong Kong. Moved to Melbourne to seek treatment at the Royal Children's Hospital. Confirmed to have stage 3 neuroblastoma, favourable histology, (non- N-MYC). At initial diagnosis, the tumour was non-resectable. 4 cycles of chemotherapy shrunk the tumour to 1/3 of its original size. Surgery to de-bulk the tumour was successful with 90% removed. Now on regular monitoring of remaining tumour.

"Children with cancer are like candles in the wind who accept the possibility that they are in danger of being extinguished by a gust of wind from nowhere and yet, as they flicker and dance to remain alive, their brilliance challenges the darkness and dazzles those of us who watch their light. - Author Unknown"
