...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.



 

Always be optimistic, always see the brighter side. And always believe in yourself. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something. If you really believe...it will happen. (Cancer) may seem like the worst thing you'll go through, but in the end it will define who you are. You will be a better person.

Transitioning of Care After Childhood Cancer

With the growing population of childhood cancer survivors, there is an increased awareness of the life-long impact of a cancer diagnosis and treatment. As young survivors gain independence and leave home, they should be aware of how to prepare for managing their own health care. Free teleconferences offer childhood cancer survivors, their parents and professionals the information they need to know as they transition through life.
