I'm just a young married mommy of one beautiful child named Aiden who is now 5 years old. He was diagnosed with Nephroblastoma (Wilms) Cancer on January 9th, 2009. He is still undergoing Chemotherapy and has had 28 rounds of radiation. His cancer spread to his spine, and lungs as well as the given abdominal cavity. The cancer in his lungs is our biggest (known) battle right now. Wilms is usually caught much sooner it seems, when it's easier to treaat, not as spread, and has a better prognosis. It is very rare for Wilms to spread as Aiden's has, and he doesn't have the greatest prognosis.

I guess I am just looking for support, to spread awareness to others, and to see if there is anyone else out there that can relate to such a wide spread Wilms Tumor.

I ache for my little boy...

Erin3746 and Mommy_of_Aiden,

I just happened to be looking through posts on this website when I saw both of yours...I too am a young mother of a 5 year old wonderful boy, Alex, who just a month ago (Oct. 10, 2009) was diagnosed with Stage IV Wilms Tumor. His cancer has spread to his lymphnodes and his lungs so we have radiation to endure once the tumor is small enough to remove. We have just begun our journey and what a scary place it is to be!!! I understand completely your aching as I too feel the same as I am sure all of the other parents of children going through this horrible experience. My personal email is jensanden16@hotmail.com and I would love to talk about experiences, etc. I find it hard to talk without crying but do well writing about it.

With love and prayers,
Alex' Mom
