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.

Megan Nelson's mom felt an odd lump as she was hugging her 2 year old granddaughter Ella before returning home after Megan had given birth to her son Francis in 2020. Upon hearing this, Megan took Ella to her pediatrician and shortly thereafter she was diagnosed with the Kidney Cancer Wilms Tumor before this diagnosis was changed 3 days later to Stage 4 High Risk Neuroblastoma. Megan and her family were living in Virginia at the time but moved to Los Angeles so Ella could get her treatment at the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. Now 4 years later, Ella is doing well and is living her best life possible.
