Monica’s daughter, Vera, passing time in the emergency department
My daughter Vera has been fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia for almost 2 years, and we recently visited the emergency department (ED) after managing to avoid it for 6 months. Going into this last visit, I remembered all the tips an oncology family should know before heading to the ED. I want to call out that most of these tips were learned by experience and/or told to me by a fellow oncology mom. These are things I wish I had known since diagnosis day.
