Review for Childhood Cancer Community, Rochester, MN, USA
There is nothing to prepare you for hearing the words, "Your child has cancer". That was a day that will be ingrained in my mind forever, as it is with all parents who have went through this. We had a wonderful team of doctors who had come up with a plan to make my son cancer free. While all of those plans are great, there was a lot of questions that the doctors could not answer for us as parents. We were referred to a support group founded and run by a childhood cancer survivor and her mother. We were instantly taken in by the group and offered so much support and help. We attended meetings when we could and met many parents who had gone through the same story as ours. While the doctors did a wonderful job treating my son physically, the Childhood Cancer Community group helped us emotionally in ways that are hard to put into words. The biggest thing I took away from our experience is, you are not alone. No one should ever need to go through this journey alone. Childhood Cancer Community makes sure that you never need to.
Thank you Beth, for sharing these words from you heart. So very kindly spoken.
