“We arrived late for diagnosis and treatment. The case of the moon was very advanced when we discovered. We were not aware that there was Retinoblastoma or that each child had to go to Ophthalmo with 6 months for a consultation routine. That’s why we created the campaign: to notify other parents, “Daiana said in an interview with Who.

Currently 4 years, the little girl was diagnosed when she was only 11 months old in 2021. After the discovery, she faced a long treatment so that the disease did not advance. According to the journalist, the family has lost “a lot of time” among the first symptoms until they discovered what they really had, so guides the regular visit from the doctor. “Ophthalmologist immediately. If he does not have ophtalm in the city, he warns the pediatrician. If he does not have pediatrician, he runs in a post and conversations with the family doctor,” he said.

“We have learned, in a very difficult way, that life is rare, that we do not control most of what happens and that having our children and people we love healthy is a blessing. Today I celebrate every moment. Bringing the moon to school is a blessing, seeing the house of disordered toys and the windows full of stickers is exciting, because I could not live!”

The campaign is in its fourth edition and has already had an impact on over 150 million people. According to the couple, the dream is that of zero the number of deaths related to retinoblastoma. “To eliminate the deaths we need the diagnosis to be fast, and for this we need everyone to keep my eyes away,” says Tiago.

They say that the” terrible tooth “, at two years, is child adolescence, but it is a lie! It expects to make three or four for you!”
