Introduction	My name is Dante, I'm 3 years old. I suffer from a rare Cancer called Neuroblastoma-High Risk, stage 4. I was diagnosed April 13, 2010. Since then, I have had 5 rounds of Chemo, Etoposide, Vincristine, Carbo, VP-16, and some other ones. I had my main tumor removed (adrenal gland) near my kidney, on July 19. 2010. The surgeon said that I did really well because it only took 4 hours, while other kids have taken up to 16 hrs in surgery. After the induction phase, my parents were told that chemo didnt work as wanted. My doctor is recommending a clinical trial in Cincinnati, Ohio. The trial is called 131 I-MIGB, whis is ultra radiation. I'm to be in a special room covered in lead everywhere so radiation doesnt spread to other rooms.
