2011-11-14 53 Dailymotion

Melissa and Lisa interview Lisa and Wayne and their children Karen and Dylan who share their journey of strength and struggles with Dylan's Wilms' tumor, a form of kidney cancer.

Wilms' tumor or nephroblastoma is cancer of the kidneys that typically occurs in children, rarely in adults. Approximately 500 cases are diagnosed in the U.S. annually. The majority (75%) occurs in otherwise normal children; a minority (25%) is associated with other developmental abnormalities. It is highly responsive to treatment, with about 90% of patients surviving at least five years. (Wikipedia)
