Successful Gathering

The Hem/Onc Pediatric Advisory Board I am on at Georgetown University Hospital had our first event today with an informal gathering of "Alumni Parents" of childhood cancer survivors. I am thankful that 21 people came out to share thoughts and ideas in dealing with many aspects of late effects of their child's treatment- parent to parent.  And even though every child and their parents' or caregivers travel their own unique path (medically), our journeys remain quite similar as our hope includes recovery and remission on all fronts. Sometimes it's not easy, but the take away today was we do not have to travel this alone. There are many people to lean on if needed and many resources for success!

BSoleille!
