Hello, not sure where to start my daughter is three she has been under the hospital since she was six months with one long-sighted and one short-sighted eye which caused her to turn her left eye off and has resulted in a turn in her eye we have done patchwork she wears glasses and was discussing her having an op to turn her eye out to look straight… Well, yesterday they did a scan and had said she has a tumor at the back of her eye on the retina?? Now I am waiting for a specialist, but my question is has anyone been through this or has any idea on anything around this please xxxx thank you in advance

everything is okay
Retinalblastomas, when caught early are one of the most curable childhood cancers. It is really going to depend on how long the tumor has been there and if it has corrupted the central nervous system or metastasized elsewhere in the body.
