Meet Carissa
In the summer of 2015, Carissa was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). I remember being told that “this was a good one” as far as pediatric cancers go. But what followed was anything but an easy road.

CHEO Stories
At the very heart of all the work done at CHEO, Roger Neilson House and the CHEO Research Institute are the children and youth we care for. Each patient has a unique story yet they all share one thing in common: they deserve world class care to help them thrive. Here are some patients whose families have agreed to share their CHEO experiences with you.
