On March 5,
2001 my 18-month-old son lost his left eye to Retinoblastoma. Cameron had his
eye removed at the Moran Eye Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. It has been harder
on my husband and I than it was for Cameron. He did not miss a beat. He is as
happy as ever and has more than compensated for the lost vision. We have his appointment
soon to get his prosthetic eye. We are very
excited. We were very lucky and were put into contact with some families in the
area who have gone through the same thing. It helped so much to meet with them
and see how well their children are doing. If I could give anyone any advise, I would have to say to get in touch with people who have gone through the same
thing. It is hard at first, but it helps so much. We will now have to have MRI's and exams for the next few years. We are just looking forward to a clean
bill of health. Cameron has done great through this whole thing. I would love
to talk to anyone who has gone through this. We are trying to get
as much information and advise that we can get. Thank you, from a mother of a darling little boy who is doing awesome. |
