...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.
2009 Teleconference Series
Survivor probably has its own unique meaning for you. Since the day the doctor said the word “cancer”, you and your family have become survivors. Despite the fact that medical advances have drastically increased survival rates, cancer and the treatment may have affected you in ways that may or may not be physically visible. This series of teleconferences will address issues that may occur during treatment and after treatment ends. Childhood cancer survivors, parents, social workers, nurses and others involved in the care of children with cancer are invited to learn more about these issues.
