A parent’s story

‘I was too afraid to ask the doctors any more questions because I was so scared of the answers.’

Lauren was five months old when she turned out to have leukemia. The fear her mother Britt felt was overwhelming. How do you cope with that? Talking with the psychologist at the Máxima Center helped, but that was not the only thing. Britt shares her story, and her tips for other parents.

A parent’s story

‘Remember that it’s okay to ask for help, whether it’s practical or to share what’s on your mind.’

Max (4) has leukemia, and his baby brother Melle always comes along to the Máxima Center. Their parents, Maartje and Mario, and their children are a close-knit family. For them, the Máxima Center feels like a place where not only Max, but the entire family is seen and supported.

A lot is happening at the Princess Máxima Center – from new research and care innovations to collaborations. Read the latest news here.
