The cancer experience shakes most caregivers to their core.
It is even more compelling and poignant when it involves
children. Thousands of families each year face this shocking
reality. Based on interviews with caregivers who have
first-hand knowledge, this book is intended to help anyone
facing a cancer diagnosis affecting a child, either as the
patient or as a member of a family.
It offers advice and cites resources to help discuss cancer
with children of different ages, manage the impact of the
disease on their daily lives, navigate treatment for kids
with cancer, and deal with children's grief in the event of
a death in the family.
