Belinda Brain
When Terrill the Terrible attacks the Belinda
Brain Zapman, Captain Chemo and Surgery are often all used
together because Terrill can be very mean when he attacks
Belinda.
Sometimes Terrill the Tyrant when attacks the
blood and causes leukemia hides in the fluid that bathes the
brain and spinal cord which is why medicine is place in the
fluid.

For over 20 years the physicians and nurses who
care for children with cancer have been putting information about
the children they care for into a big computer. It's been a
really big job for lots of major centers to do but the result has
been wonderful. Because each center sees only a few children with
specific kinds of cancers by putting all of the information in
one computer it has allowed the doctors to figure out what kind
of treatment would help a child the most. It also means that most
of the time if a child is being treated at a large center the
treatment would be the same almost anywhere in the U.S. The
exception might be if a research center had a new drug or therapy
that was experimental.
