Teenagers and Babies are Often Overlooked During Cancer Treatment

After three surgeries and fifteen months of chemotherapy treatment, Jordyn knows first-hand how cancer-treatment affects you.

During her time at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Jordyn noticed that the teenagers and babies were often overlooked.

When gifts were handed out for various holidays, these kids received gifts that did not appeal to their age group. Shows playing in the hospital were often geared toward younger kids or toddlers. And while appreciated, it almost felt as if the babies and young adults were not validated for the pain that they endured each week.
