September marks the start of Childhood Cancer Awareness month so we are sharing some relevant posts and information
September marks the start of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness of the challenges faced by children and families battling this devastating illness.
“A cancer diagnosis doesn’t just affect the child, it is everyone around the child – family, school, extended family, friends. If you are left to navigate this alone, outcomes for families would be very different. If a parent is struggling, they are not at full capacity to support their child. The families whose children who go on to reintegrate well into school and homelife are the ones who will have had good support from the whole oncology team. We believe in prevention rather than cure (wellbeing specific).” - Dr Meghan Owens, Tom’s Trust clinical psychologist at Alder Hey.
