JOHN AND JOAN CANUSO STARTED THE FIRST RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE INSPIRED BY THEIR DAUGHTER JOAN "BABE" CANUSO FISHER.
*The House was conceived in the mid 70's.
My son was diagnosed with ALL in 1972, at that time all treatments were experimental 6 different protocols were used and all children were randomly put in one of the 6. The parents were asked not to discuss the treatments with other parents, the thinking was the parent might ask to have their child put in another group that seemed to do better. I saw a few of the mothers in the hospital cafeteria and started conversations with them, since we were discouraged from comparing treatments at the hospital I invited them to my house for coffee. We regularly met for coffee and the number of moms got to be about 7, we did start comparing treatments and the effects of the drugs, after severalsimilar drug complaints the doctors would finally agree with us, before that they would say things like "that drug doesn't cause nausea" or whatever.
When we were in the hospital with the children our group was our support, we supported each other in ways no one could, when one of the children died we where there. After a while the doctors and nurses realized that we were a great help to them and more for us.
So Dr. Stuart Seigel started a quest for more support and when things are a good idea the Universe does the rest.
