Most children learn to live with an artificial eye quite easily and just get on with life. The group of people who do have most trouble adapting however is the parents of those children. A lot of parents feel guilty that their child has had to go through so much and the parents could not protect them from it.

Retinoblastoma is a very nasty cancer and although treatable in its early stages, you should get an annual check up through out your life as you could possibly be more prone to other cancers.

You should help your Dad to be a little more forgiving on himself and let him know you are an adult now and will look after yourself. He obviously cares about you and worries a lot. He could not protect you when you where little and so is still trying to protect you now.

I have lived with retinoblastoma since the age of 2 and have lived a normal life for the past 32 years. The only trouble I had more than anything was getting my Dad to understand that not everything has to do with my eyes and having to visit doctors so much.
