Jennifer knows first hand what it's like to parent a child with cancer. Her son fought Retinoblastoma for over two years, starting at birth. Based on her experiences, information from child life specialists, social workers, and pediatric oncologists, and the experience of other parents like her, she wrote this book to help fill in the gaps of where most resources fall short-the parenting part of cancer. This book answers questions like: what do I bring to the hospital? How am I going to stay organized? How am I going to pay the bills?
