Children with Cancer UK stands by families’ sides and fund new, less toxic treatments, improving the quality of life of those affected, and supporting families throughout their journeys and moments away from the day-to-day stresses.
Getting a childhood cancer diagnosis affects everyone in the family. One day everything is fine, the next day life changes. A family enters a new normal, full of unknowns and uncertainties of what a cancer journey and hospital stay might look like.
Many questions about how it might be like to be in the hospital. What is it like to be surrounded by strangers away from home? What will the day look like? What happens during treatments? When can families be together? Will you make new friends? What will my medical treatment look like? What research has been done for my cancer type? Who will be by my side?
You hear the news that someone close to you has had a cancer diagnosis. You want to help but you are not sure how you can be by their side and show your support.
This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month let Children with Cancer UK’s Corry show you how everyone can play a part – from fundraising for better treatments, to supporting loved ones, even from afar, and reminding them you’re always by their side.
