Son needs more support at school after missing 4 months for cancer treatment
Dear Meghan: My child was diagnosed with cancer in January 2022, when he was in eighth grade. Up until then, he was an independent and high-achieving student.
He underwent six months of chemotherapy and seven surgeries. It was a hard time for our whole family. He was unable to return to school after his diagnosis, so he missed four months of eighth grade, including algebra 1 and Spanish 1.
