Program details

When a family is affected by a pediatric cancer diagnosis it turns their world upside-down. It can be especially challenging for families of pediatric patients to communicate with their care team and advocate for their child. This panel discussion will help you learn to communicate most effectively with your care team. 

We encourage all caregivers and loved ones of a child impacted by blood cancer to watch this program.
