I am currently doing the Pediatric Hematology/Oncology clinic elective.

Today I had a 7-year-old patient  with unresectable ganglioneuroblastoma whose two close friends (that he knows from cancer camp) passed away recently.  His anxiety level has been sky-high and he recently said to his mom, "I don't want to die like [my friend]."  He does not feel better despite reassurances from his mother that the MRI shows that his disease is very stable.  Maannnn, death really is not something that a 7-year-old should worry about.
