When a child is diagnosed with cancer, families need a strong support system to navigate the emotional, financial, and logistical challenges that come with treatment. In Ottawa and Eastern Ontario, a Facebook group offers crucial assistance to families facing childhood cancer.

One of the most valuable support networks for local families is the Oncology Parents of Eastern Ontario Facebook group. This peer-led community is specifically designed for families whose children are receiving treatment at CHEO (Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario).
Why Join a Local Support Group?
Emotional Support – Engage with other parents who truly understand the emotional toll of childhood cancer.
Practical Advice – Learn from those who have navigated similar challenges, including treatment tips and hospital logistics.
Resource Sharing – Stay informed about local programs, financial aid, and community events that can support your child and family.
