When Dulce came down with a cold, her mom, Maria, didn’t expect a call to explain that she had a tumor in her chest. Once she was referred to the specialists in our pediatric Surgical Oncology Program, Maria immediately felt hopeful that Dulce would one day soon get back to dancing and singing.
“Even though we may speak another language and may not fully understand, they have helped us a lot to fully understand what is happening clearly,” says Maria.
As a Spanish speaking family, it was important for our specialists to communicate Dulce’s treatment in detail that was easy to understand.
“My experience, from the moment I walked in, I felt a sense of security that the doctors are telling me every step of the process and what’s next,” says Maria. “You are putting all of your faith, all of your hope in them, because you see they are doing it out of the kindness of their heart to help all of the families.”
After Dulce recovered from surgery, her spirit and energy has returned and you would have never known she was ever sick. And now she can continue to sing, dance and enjoy all of the things she loves.
“The care that was given to my daughter was the best,” says Maria.
