Whether you’re dealing with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), chondrosarcoma, neuroblastoma, or the host of other pediatric cancer diagnoses, it’s the actual diagnosis that can take your breath away.
You can feel your life being redefined from the moments before, and the moments after, you’ve been told your child has cancer.
To help parents and caregivers of kids with cancers such as CML get their feet on the ground and feel a sense of community, two organizations have come together to offer help. The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and Momcology are hosting a series of informational events in the Philadelphia area. These ongoing, semi-monthly seminars are designed for parents whose children have been diagnosed with cancer.
Each session focuses on a different topic from general information and activities to local opportunities and peer-to-peer support groups for caregivers of children with pediatric cancer. Each event is free of charge and runs from 10 am to 12 pm.
