8-year old Nanako Murakami has brain cancer. 99% of her bone marrow is cancerous, and she has neuroblastoma even after a stem cell transplant. So her 48-year old mother decided to do for her what many older patients do to heal—she took her to a Fukushima spa called Yawaragi no Yu that has natural radioactive hot rocks that supposedly cure the deadly disease. Apparently, she's the youngest visitor there ever--other kids are usually denied entry because of the risk of side effects.
I hope this works for Nanako-chan.
