A little bit of research...

Our oncologists have suggested a research site called www.curesearch.org It is quite conservative but does have a lot of good information on it.

Many of you have asked about how you can help and we don't really know right now. We came across this on the curesearch site and it does make a lot of sense to us right now:

Ideas for Family and Friends

Family members and friends often feel concern and compassion for a child with cancer and their family, but are uncertain about how best to reach out and help. A vague offer of “Call me if you need anything” may not be very useful because it requires that the overwhelmed parents consider their needs and articulate them. Parents need a lot of support, but in these situations they simply may not have the time or energy to call. The best support can be a concrete offer for a job or service. When possible, it may be useful to coordinate a group of helpers, so that tasks can be divided and the family’s needs may be covered. There are lots of ways to be truly helpful.

The site goes on to provide lots of really helpful things. You can go directly to this part of the site by cutting and pasting the following into your browser (it seemed too long to include here):
