Mythbusting: Non-Cancer Illnesses

Sometimes people think we only work with families with a cancer diagnosis. Not so!

While we do support kids when a parent faces cancer, Wonders & Worries also works with families who have a parent with ANY serious physical illness.

A partial list of non-cancer diagnoses we’ve worked with includes:

• ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease
• Heart disease
• Auto immune disorders like Lupus, Crohn’s and Lyme disease
• Organ transplants
• Neurological disorders
• Connective tissue diseases like Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
• Diabetes
• Paralysis
• Parkinson’s disease
• Chronic pain, including fibromyalgia and rheumatism
