Oliya Scootercaster @ScooterCasterNY - I kept going back and forth about sharing this, since I don't share personal stories. But this is important and I hope it can help bring a change.
One year ago today was the worst day of my life. My baby was diagnosed with a rare childhood cancer, neuroblastoma. And so began the most painful days, weeks and months of not knowing what will happen, if it's the last time I'm seeing her beautiful smile, if there is help, holding her down while doctors probe her as she screams, being unable to explain to a 1.5 year old why it's happening.
Now one year later she started new treatment. The odds of this treatment working are small, but it’s a chance. Her survival odds are good, we just haven’t found a treatment that works yet.
We are in a much luckier place with diagnosis than many other parents and children who we had the honor of meeting, reading their stories and updates breaks my heart over and over again for them.
For seven months before diagnosis I went to endless doctors, ringing alarm about what I saw on my child. Everyone said it's nothing to worry about, some even laughed. Finally one doctor took us seriously and ordered an MRI. And we got the dreadful news.
Pediatricians need to listen to their patients, not dismiss them. Pediatric cancer research needs more funding. There is so much potential but the progress is extremely slow.
It is unsettling that pediatric cancer research gets just a tiny sliver of cancer funding from federal sources, only about 4 percent, despite being one of the leading causes of disease-related death in children.
This has to be fixed.
