Welcome to our Retinoblastoma Resource.
You may be trying to process the shock of your child’s diagnosis while learning about the planned treatment. Perhaps you are still adjusting to life as a new first-time parent, as well as coping with your child’s treatment.
Maybe your child has finished treatment, or you were treated yourself as a child. Possibly you are a concerned friend, or a clinician looking for resources to help you care for a child.
Whatever your circumstances or experience, we hope the Resource will be helpful and encouraging. We created this section of our website to supplement the information doctors provide, answer questions and concerns, increase understanding and share hope. Bookmark pages and visit whenever you need to.
