Like a natural disaster, the diagnosis that your child has cancer can leave you and your family feeling helpless.
  • How do you explain the disease to the child and to his or her siblings?
  • How can you communicate your child's needs to the hospital staff?
  • What are the best ways to reduce the physical side effects and the emotional distress of treatment?How will you, your child or teenager, and the rest of your family cope with cancer, and what can you do to help?
  • When and where do you find good psychological help for your child or your family?
  • How do you manage financial and school issues?
  • How can you foster your child's development and self-esteem?

More than 12,000 American children will be diagnosed with cancer this year, and roughly 75% will survive. In addition to excellent medical care, their survival depends on a strong support network, which may include parents, siblings, extended family members, friends and neighbors, classmates and teachers. In this down-to-earth guidebook, the authors draw on their own family's experience with cancer as well as their professional expertise and stories from others to help families address the psychological impact of cancer. The result is a book filled with sound emotional guidance, useful information, and practical advice for families coping with cancer.

This book is an excellent roadmap for families who are faced with the shattering experience of having a child with cancer. —University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine Noting individual differences in styles and preferences, the authors provide a detailed listing of ways for parents to help themselves and their children emotionally.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great gift when my toddler was diagnosed
    Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2013
    My daughter was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia a year ago, just before her 2nd birthday. Someone gave us this book during our first hospital stay and I certainly didn't have time to write a review then but just came about it now while browsing around for resources for friends. This is a great book. I'm not sure I've read the whole thing, I mostly jumped around to different chapters as I had time or when I had questions and wanted to get right to the certain topics. It was relatable and one of the best books we had. There are very few great resources out there, mostly because every cancer and every child is so different and therefore ever treatment, side effect, support network, coping mechanism and experience is as well, but this truly is probably the best book that we had if I could only give one book to any family at that dreaded time of diagnosis. There is little that fully eases that journey, it only can be done one day at a time, but this book does offer a bit more comfort, answers and understanding along the way for the readers among us. I was glad I had it and will keep it as an important reminder of what my daughter continues to overcome while her treatments continue, though luckily less intensely over the next two years.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Well written and researched
    Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2002
    This book is written by a parent and grandparent of a childhood cancer survivor and has many quotations from other parents whose children have or had cancer. They've been there...they know what you are going through. Bulleted lists of quick tips and tricks are extremely helpful for busy parents who have little time for reading while in the throes of treatment. For those times when a parent finds they have too much time on their hands, like during admissions and while waiting umpteen hours in hospital waiting rooms, the book reads easily and is full of practical coping advice and resources. I only wish that this book had been available when my son was on treatment!
