...because children get cancer, too!

A childhood cancer diagnosis lasts a lifetime. The information about the late effects of a cancer diagnosis and treatment is rapidly increasing. The National Children's Cancer Society wants to ensure survivors have access to the information. This web site is designed to provide information pertaining to all areas of the survivor's life. The Late-Effects Assessment tool allows you to build an assessment of late effects specific to your diagnosis and treatment.

Getting cancer is obviously incredibly random. Once you get it, there's no turning back, there's no going back, there's no choice involved. You're given it and just sort of have to deal with it. It's also an opportunity to grow. So much happens that puts things in perspective. Cancer helps You realize who you are as a person. It shows your character (because) you have to overcome these incredible odds.

Marrow or Cord Blood Transplant: Graft-Versus-Host Disease

Some children with cancer and other diseases have to receive bone marrow transplants to survive. For others, a bone marrow transplant is a very distinct possibility in the future. Childhood cancer survivors, parents and health care providers need to be aware of the specialized care that is required to identify the signs and symptoms of graft-versus-host disease to minimize the severity of these problems. A free teleconference on this topic will be held on Tuesday, June 24, 2008.

Thursday, June 24, 2008
1:30 to 2:30 CT
