HI, my son is 14 months old and has been diagnosed with Retinoblastoma. We are having a difficult time when it comes to money, even though he has insurance, we have to travel an hour and a half one way when we go to his Doctors or for chemo? We recently had to decide on whether to pay the car insurance and get license tabs renewed or pay for his upcoming chemo trip which can cost from 150-200 dollars with lodging and food. Does anybody know of anywhere we can get help?

St, Jude's children's hospital? I'm not really sure. My heart goes out to you, though, I hope so much he recovers fully and becomes healthy.. and I will keep you in my prayers.

It does not matter where you live, St. Jude is free... They also provide free housing, etc.

As a nursing student I will be visiting St. Jude on Good Friday...

Please check it out, they have some great results with retinoblastoma
