Help and Hope Happen Here
This Podcast is going to be about Pediatric Cancer and the need to keep the awareness of this terrible disease in the public eye. My plan is to be able to interview a wide spectrum of people who all have a passion and a stake in finding a way to make the lives of these Pediatric Cancer Patients easier. I will interview oncologists, nurses, recovered patients, parents who have had to oversee their children's cancer fight, heads of Pediatric Cancer Foundations and Organizations , and others who would like to use this forum to advocate for these children.

Regina Karchner was finally diagnosed with a Pediatric Brain Tumor when she was 16 years old, 2 years after her symptoms were dismissed by her pediatrician, who suggested that Regina's mother , who was insisting on a more thorough examination, go for psychological help.
As is always the case, her mother proved to be correct and Regina has since dedicated her life to helping other Pediatric Brain Cancer survivors through her position as the West Region Social Work Coordinator for the Children's Brain Tumor Foundation.
