I never knew I would come across the name Doctor Audrey E. Evans after 42 years. I was so fortunate to have worked for Dr. Evans at the University of Chicago Wyler Children's Hospital when I first came to USA back in July 1967. She is the smartest nicest female person I've ever known. My best wishes on her retirement!!! WOW! I never knew I would come across the name Doctor Audrey E. Evans after 42 years.

I should have written that neuroblastoma is the most common form of cancer in infants. http://www.cancer.org/docroot/CRI/content/CRI_2_4_1X_What_are_the_key_statistics_about_neuroblastoma_31.asp?sitearea= Elizabeth,

Here is a correction. Neuroblastoma is not the most common childhood cancer; it occurs in only about 10% of children with cancer. Leukemia and brain tumors are the most common and together comprise half of all cancers in children. Nice story.
