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.
