...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.



 

I'm strong from my faith. It gives me an idea of what I believe beyond worldly ideas. Just having cancer solidifies my faith and makes me realize how much it means to me. I also realize-through other people and the workings of modern-day medicine-how miraculous life can be.

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.
