Petition Raise awareness of Poland syndrome and provide more info to those affected.
With our personal experience when we found out our son had Poland syndrome we found it really hard to get any information on this and also very few doctors have even heard of Poland syndrome. We feel after to speaking to others in the same position that there should be more info for us.
