Wow. I am so happy to see of someone who has survived this from birth. My daughter Lily Anna Brazell died three hours after birth on November 5, 2007. An autopsy revealed she had Congenital Neuroblastoma that had spread to her liver. The tumor on her right adrenal gland ruptured during birth and she passed shortly thereafter. It wasn't until after she passed and the autopsy was done that we knew what went wrong.
God bless you, Chad and your entire family.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. Your right, Chad is tougher. Reading about him brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for giving so many of us hope that long term surivivors are out there. My son was 10 weeks when he was diagnosed and he is now 22 months. I hope he will soon be cancer free and someday catch up with Chad's 22 years.
Happy Birthday to Chad and many, many more. Wishing you all a Wonderful Holiday.

What an amazing story. What a difference being diagnosed so early makes with this terrible disease. My only wish is that more babies are diagnosed this early instead of being 3 years old, as my son was, having given the cancer years to spread and destroy our babies little bodies.

It is wonderful to read success stories with a disease that claims so many lives.

Thank you for sharing Chad's story and God bless you all.

Hi I was checking things out on Beebo when I decided to look at your site. It is an amazing MIRACLE indeed. My grandson Tanner was dx with Neuroblastoma at 7 1/2 months old, there was a lump on his jaw and after biopsy was determined that he had NB stage 4 high risk n-myc amplified. Tanner is now NED and has been since October of last year he will be 2 on october 30th. If you would like to read his journal please go to www.caringbridge.org/ny/tannergilbert. I keep telling his mom that I believe he is our little miracle. Chad's story is such an inspiration to all. thank you

Hi... I found your site through a "friend". Long story, but three years ago, I lost a child, Chayton, to an ATRT Rhabdoid brain tumor. It is also very rare and very aggressive. Because of Chayton, we decided to start a foundation... My entire family lives in Iowa and my parents sent me the information on a little boy in their area who was recently dx with Neuroblastoma Stage 4. I did what I could and searched everywhere to find support for them and WOW! I found a family only three small towns over that lost a son in November to Neuroblastoma Stage 4. I called the family and we talked last night. They told me about this site and I came here lurking around to get information. I saw Chad's picture and read his story. It gives me hope to know that 22 years later, here he is cancer free. (Told you it was a long story). Anyway, God bless you all for all that you have been through. From one fighting family to another~Hugs!

Thank you for telling us about your story. Parents of NB children need hope; most importantly faith. Our son was diagnosed at 5 weeks of age.

Hey there Chad, Charlie, Karen and all of you guys.

I saw Karen's message in our guestbook and thought I'd go say hi. No chemo, no radiation?! Maaaaaan, you missed all the fun!
But seriously, I'm real glad you're there now and doing fine. Hope you'll have a nice life. If it started like THAT, man, it just MUST be good all the time after. :-) I wish you just that.
Stay cool.

Karen and Chad, I can't begin to say to you what it means to read about Chad. It gives hope and insperation to others. I am Grandma Gail on the list. I know Chad is grown up now, but i send him a Sweet Hug and Kiss. I know it sounds silly but it means a lot to me. The tears are here, blessings to your family. We have a Sweet Angel Luke, he is our grandson, he left us on Feb.8 the day before his 6th. birthday. The tears are of joy for Chad.
Sweet Hugs From The Sweets & Sweet Angel Luke, always
