My name is Arie and I just turned 4 on 12/11/18 and was diagnosed with Advanced Neuroblastoma  Cancer on 12/15/18.  I just started receiving chemotherapy today 12/21/18.   After my  first round of chemotherapy (five days) I may be allowed to come home.  I'm hoping to come home on Christmas day.  My journey will be long and arduous. 

I have tried to keep my spirit up during all of this.  I have had many of my friends and family stop by and see me.  The person that I enjoy seeing the most is my sister.  She is  6 years old and she is my best friend. I miss playing with her at home.


This is going to be long and hard on my family and me.  We have many people who love us, but this is the hardest thing we have faced so far.   Any help would be greatly appreciated.
