Meanwhile, does anyone know how I can find support groups for kids? We have two 12 year olds. MD Anderson has some great ones, but that's Houston. I found a great week long summer camp put on by UT Austin that we are trying to send them to-for kids with a loved one with cancer. But I am having trouble finding local support groups for kids. Thought I would see if anyone may have suggestions on that as we are a bit rural-but am willing to drive a ways, like to Austin or Waco if y'all may know of anything I haven't found yet! Thanks so much for everything!
