Retinoblastoma is a childhood eye cancer.

What would you do if you took a baby picture and saw a bright white glow?

What if your Pediatrician said, "Don't worry about it?"  

Or your child's doctor said he's never given a diagnosis for Retinoblastoma?

After your child's eye is surgically removed, then what?  Early detection and a dilated eye exam saved our child's vision and her life.

Children under age 5, need to have eye exams for early detection of Rb 

My husband and I learned about Retinoblastoma (Rb) eye cancer when our daughter was 9 months old. Mom took a picture and saw a bright white glow in her eyes. Emergency surgery was scheduled to remove her eye because the tumors were growing and spreading. We returned to the hospital every 3 weeks for follow up care. Four years later, our child was diagnosed with hearing loss. Technology has advanced for early detection, families have more treatment options. Currently, there is no prevention and there is no cure. 

Our family designed Rb Awareness Posters, for our daughter and children around the world.

More Doctors and Parents need to know, children under 5 years need to be dilated eye exams to detect Retinoblastoma. Rb is a rare childhood eye cancer. From the day of diagnosis, for the rest of a child's life they are at risk for:

Ø     Undetected tumors spread to other parts of the body

Ø     The possibility of developing second cancers exists.

Ø     Surgical removal of one or both eyes, low vision, or monocular vision, requires a new eye,  "called a prosthesis."

Ø     Blindness and hearing loss
