1. One point that I learned on your page that I did not know before was: neuroblastama occurs more in children than adults. 2. The page you created was informative or interesting because: there is a little boy who lives in Burnt Hills dealing with this type of cancer. 3. How I can use this information in my life now or in the future is... I can take the precautions for when I have kids. 4. I would still like to know more about... why it occurs more in children. AT

1. I learned that by the time this cancer is found it is already spread 2. This page has good information and is easy to read 3. I can use this information in the future because when i have kids i can be aware of this 4. I would still like to no more about the cancer its self. - tiana mcguire:)

This helped me to understand what specifically happens inside the body OS
