Surviving Retinoblastoma!!!

What is Retinoblastoma???

Retinoblastoma is a rare childhood cancer that affects the eyes.  It is mainly diagnosed before the age of  3.  Most commonly, this cancer is inherited and occurs in both eyes (bilateral).  In some instances, the cancer is sporadic and will occur in only one eye (unilateral).  Once a child has been diagnosed with Retinoblastoma, his/her chances of secondary cancers rise and he/she has a 50% chance of passing this disease to future generations.
