This booklet is for parents and carers of a child, teenager or young adult who has been diagnosed with cancer. We hope it answers your questions and helps you deal with some of the feelings you may have.
This booklet gives information about children’s cancers, the treatments that can be used and their possible side effects. It also discusses how a cancer diagnosis can affect you, your child and the rest of your family.
Information includes incidence, diagnosis and tests, staff involved in the care of the child, treatment, side effects, emotions and feelings, drug information and help and support.
