Sorry we were not able to make the trip to St Louis, but hope to meet up with everyone at some point in the future . We are relatively new to this world, our 3-1/2 year old daughter was diagnosed on April 30, 2009 and she had surgery to remove her right eye on May 1st. We started chemo on June 3rd. Thanks for creating this website and all of your support.

The weather didn’t cooperate, but it was nice to meet Cole and Chris and Heather. Well, you gotta start somewhere. Hopefully more people will come out for the next one as the word spreads.

I wish you all the success “gathering” your Midwest Rb families! It may be unfortunate the reason (retinoblastoma) but the family network and support is a wonderful thing! At some point we should plan a joint gathering!

I am new to Rb. 3 1/2 weeks ago, my 10 month old granddaughter Savannah was diagnosed with Rb. About 6 days after diagnosis, she had her right eye enucleated and a small tumor in the left eye was frozen. My husband and I are still in shock about this all. We are 3 hours away from our son, daughter in law and Savannah, so we don’t get to see her often enough. Her other grandparents do, however get to see her quite often, so they may be “getting over” the initial shock.
It is great to know that there are other folks in our area (and Savannah’s) that we can get support and info from. We intend to be here on a returning basis. Thanks for being here.

On your “About Us” it states: “Retinoblastoma of New England is a site created by families in the New England area who have a child or children with retinoblastoma.” I’ve changed the link name on here. Thank you so much for all of your help!!!

YOU DID IT!! WAY TO GO!!
