This book is intended for children who have the disease and for
their families. Not just mothers and fathers, but brothers and
sisters too, for they are as severely affected - in a different way
- as the patients themselves. It is also for grandparents, aunts,
uncles, and friends. The outlook for children with cancer has
improved greatly in the past several decades. Still, cancer in a
child is an overwhelming experience for a family. Surviving
Childhood Cancer: A Guide for Families describes the illness, its
treatment, and how it changes the lives of both the child with
cancer and his or her family. Although there is no simple recipe
for survival, there are ways to make the experience of cancer more
bearable. Written with great sensitivity and understanding, this
book provides practical advice about how to cope with emotions and
stress; how to handle communication about the illness with the
child as well as with family members, friends, classmates,
employers, and others; where to obtain information and help; and
how to develop honest and trusting relationships with medical
caregivers. Interwoven throughout the text are many insightful and
inspirational stories of those who have faced and survived cancer;
through these, the reader learns how others have not only gotten
through the ordeal but also emerged from it stronger and more aware
of what is truly important in life.
