When a child is diagnosed with cancer it can seem like normal life stops and a different journey begins.
It’s a journey that tests families physically, emotionally, socially and financially.
To be told that a child has cancer comes as a terrible shock. Yet to know that seven out of 10 children now survive cancer may offer some kind of comfort and reassurance to families.
Thanks to research into treatment and causes, the outlook is now one of hope, forward thinking and positive outcomes.
This section of the website is all about the diagnosis and treatment of childhood cancer. It has been produced working with our partners at CCLG (Children's Cancer and Leukaemia Group) and aims to give a reliable overview of childhood cancer, its main types and treatments.
These pages are intended to back up the information you get from the hospital, not to replace medical advice from a consultant. However, if your child has been diagnosed with cancer and you are looking for more information, this section might just be a good place to start.
