Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for someone with cancer to be the parent of a child younger than the age of 18.

Justin Yopp, MD, and Cindy Rogers, JD, co-lead UNC Health’s Parenting with Cancer Clinic, which helps parents with cancer talk to their children about their diagnosis and prognosis, manage the increased stress on the family, and address legal and financial matters so that a parent’s long-term wishes for their family are documented.

Staying open and honest with your children is important.

When CBS 17 meteorologist Bill Reh’s kidney function declined, he needed a living donor to avoid dialysis. He found a match close to home: his wife of 37 years, Shields Reh. In November, surgeons at UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill removed one of Shields’ kidneys and transplanted it into Bill.

His life is different now — he takes anti-rejection meds twice a day — but he’s grateful for the chance at a healthier future.

“She’s the hero of the story,” he said. “I appreciate every day, even the small things.”

Bill Reh lived with his kidney disease for decades, not needing a transplant until earlier this year. A donor match was found within months.
