Have you watched it yet? If not, you need to watch this video about childhood cancer. It's not easy to view, but it's the horrible truth about kids getting cancer:

Misconception #1: Childhood cancer is rare - it doesn't feel rare to me when there is a whole wing of the Alberta Children's Hospital full of kids getting treated.
Misconception #2: Children's cancer is like cancer in a small adult - not true, the cancers are different. Liam's brain tumor is rare in adults.
Misconception #3: Over the past 40 years, there have been dramatic improvements in childhood cancer. Is a 5 year survival rate something to celebrate for a 3 year old? Is cutting, poisoning and burning kids an improvement? Living a life of medical problems from the treatment? Many of the chemotherapy drugs are 40 years old.

Have I mentioned one of Liam's chemo drugs can cause Leukemia?
Radiation is the "gift that keeps on giving". Liam brain will continue to be damaged for many years.

I had NO idea of any of these things before I was thrown into this world of kids cancer.
