Thank you Doctors Carol and Jerry Shields for saving my life and saving my other eye 32 yrs ago. Thank you for being pioneers in the retinoblastoma treatment.
I lost my eye when I was only 2 years old to retinoblastoma. Dr. Jerry Shields saved my life. For some reason this video brought me to tears. Though I have no memories of the time, I am deeply grateful to Wills Eye Hospital for being my sword against this enemy.
+SensorProximity Right or left?? I lost my right eye at 2. i went to this place actually. now 17 and going to college to help children with childhood cancer. :)
I lost my left eye at age to to this cancer. Had my eye surgically removed at the Mayo clinic in Rochester, MN. Very informative video. My 4 month old son is now going through genetic testing as I did to try and catch it early if he were to develop it.
I want to say God bless each and everyone of you that have went through this and made it through this trial and tribulation everybody have a wonderful testimony when I say we serve a mighty God I want to say thank you to doctor shield and everyone else that help because it's doctors like her and the other man that helped to save children's lives is a lot of people that will write it off and its alot of doc out here that wouldnt give u the chance or even want to try. But they did and I've read so many of your comments and your testimonies of how she saved you when y'all was 2/4 years old or in your late trimaster .. it just warms my heart to know that it is still doctors out here that still care 💖💖💖💖
Thank You Dr Shields. You are an amazing Doctor and thank you to Wills eye Hospital for being an incredible hospital with a great staff and wonderful doctors and nurses

I was born In 1984 with ritnablastom in both eyes my mother had it also and she lost one of her eyes.mine went away some how and never returned.but some eye doctors say they can still see the tags I gave 11 in one eye and 12 in the other
i had this cancer at age 2, beat it at age 12 but i lost my right eye. doctors here in jamaica said that not having one of my eye caused one side of my face to stop growing. now i am 21 i would like to fix my face but i was told that there was not much i could do here in jamaica. my question is if you guys think there is any hopes of evening out the shape of my face and getting a false eye?
Can cats get Retinoblastoma? My kitten has a white glow in 2 of the pictures I took yesterday. Cats eyes normally glow green or yellow but this is pure white
