Children are not just small adults. When your child has a brain tumor, you need specialized medical experts who understand how to protect your child’s growing body, as well as fight the disease.
The fact that we had a doctor who knows more about children’s brain tumors than anybody else in the world was an affirmation that we were going to the right place.
We are there from Day One, when a child arrives as a brand-new patient, all the way through their care. I’m that child’s nurse, no matter where they go in the hospital.
