For those who have retinoblastoma, what experiences have youencountered growing up with this disease?

Please share your experience. It's for an AP Bio Project and thsoe who answered will be anonymous . Thanks for your time and sharing your experience!

You may find it hard to find retinoblastoma survivors online - if the disease itself didn't directly lead to blindness, the treatment itself can also cause visual problems. Plus, it is still quite rare. It might be better to contact the society for the blind to get this type of input
