The results were more than shocking because she was so healthy and had no symptoms! Emily was diagnosed with a Neuroblastoma, which is a common cancerous tumour found in young children. Following several scans, Emily then had surgery on January 13th 2011 and she recovered extremely well.
The Montreal Children’s Hospital is amazing! The entire staff (Doctors, Surgeons, Nurses, etc.) always made sure that Emily and the members of her family were well taken care of. They always took the time needed to explain everything and they also took time to make Emily feel comfortable too. We were never rushed or uninformed. The quality of care and the incredible communication at this Hospital are outstanding!
At almost every visit, Emily received a gift. This made her happy (me too) and it changed our stressful thoughts into happy moments. It is small things like this that make a difference. A family needs these types of gestures when going through such a tragic time. I really appreciate everything that The Montreal Children’s Hospital did for us.
This is why I do a little something to help out this wonderful Hospital who then helps out other families. My goal was to raise money for the Oncology Department at the Montreal Children’s Hospital in a bowling fundraiser held on September 24 2011 at Belvedere Bowling in Lachine.
The cost was $20 per adult and $10 per child (12 years and under), which includes three hours of bowling and shoe rental. Donations was also accepted for those who cannot attended. Result: $4,040.
Thank you so much!
