Our Mission
MyChild’sCancer Founder, Oded Grinstein sharing our Mission.
Childhood cancer is very rare but because of this, parents and caregivers often struggle to find information that could save their child’s life.
“When our child gets sick with a rare cancer, we become experts on that specific type, working so hard to get this knowledge. It is just a waste keeping this information to ourselves. That is why this project is so significant.”
- Oded Grinstein, Founder of MyChild’sCancer
Our Programs
Expert Committees & Treatment Research
Our staff includes medical researchers and world-leading childhood cancer oncologists with vast experience and access to the latest information on clinical trials & cancer research as well as a network of experts.
Our team conferences together on a video call with the parents, the treating oncologist, and the relevant world experts and thought leaders to analyze the case, review treatment options, and decide on the next steps.
Our impact: In 2021 & 2022, 100% of these tele-health sessions impacted the child’s treatment.
Patient Advocacy
We facilitate access to treatment.
When a child needs a drug that is not available where they live, we will reach out to the Pharma company to make it happen. When a treatment requires relocation, we will reach out on behalf of the family to relevant cancer centers.
We will translate documents if needed, help with finding insurance, negotiate medical bills, and help parents understand their rights.
Throughout the family’s journey, our case managers will provide mentorship and guidance, and translate medical documents and “doctor speak” to Layman’s terms.
Local Family Support
We provide critical support services to Families who need to relocate to another state or country to provide life-saving treatment for their child.
Our Family Coordinators work closely with families to address their multiple needs, from housing & transportation to new schools & navigating life in a different culture.
Wiki Cancer
We share what we learned with parents from all over the world, helping parents and doctors who might have little to no access to experts and resources so they too can benefit from what we have learned from the best pediatric cancer experts in the world.

Oded's Story
MyChild’sCancer (MCC) was founded in 2010 by Oded Grinstein following his family’s long struggle against childhood cancer.
His daughter, Shani, was only nine months old when she was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive type of sarcoma. Oded struggled to find information about the cancer threatening his daughter’s life. Shani was fortunate enough to be admitted for treatment to one of Israel’s leading hospitals, but the doctors there – experienced as they were – had never treated this specific type of cancer. The family eventually moved from Israel to the United States to find the right doctor to treat Shani.
“Words can not describe your professional yet warm support during this
difficult time in our lives.
You are truly one of a kind. You represent a winning combination of love and affection, empathy, wisdom, out-of-the-box thinking and experience. Your support helped us tremendously to go through these tough times in our lives.”
— The Milfelder family (February 2014)
