In 2002, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation - Ontario Region provided funding to the Ottawa Hospital Regional Cancer Centre to create What About My Kids?, a comprehensive resource addressing the broad range of issues and challenges parents with young children might encounter throughout the breast cancer journey. By providing relevant, accessible and practical information to address the complex needs of parents and children, What About My Kids? aims to help families cope with breast cancer together.
